Based upon the availability of funds, as well as the competitiveness of the applications, TDH will select service providers. Service providers will develop billing and collections policies including a charge schedule, a system for discounting or adjusting charges based on a person's income and family size, and a mechanism capable of billing and making reasonable efforts to collect from patients and third parties. Service providers must become a Medicaid provider for applicable program activities, and will maximize efforts to obtain payment from Medicaid and all other available sources. Programs within TDH tend to have various funding cycles, guidelines for service components, types of assistance, etc. Availability of funds is also varied by program.
Some programs have more contractual funds available than others.
Some may be preparing for a new funding cycle while others request proposals based upon the state fiscal year, others, the federal fiscal year. RFPs outline the work to be performed and any matching requirements, set appropriate deadlines, and identify applicant eligibility requirements. Copies of the Texas Register are usually available for review at university and public libraries, state and county government offices, and other similar locations.
