Hospital Payment Advisory Committee Recap 6.5.25
The Hospital Payment Advisory Committee (HPAC) provides stakeholder input to HHSC on hospital reimbursement issues, with an emphasis on Medicaid payment programs and rate methodology. The June meeting covered updates from the Rural Hospital Advisory Committee, member application processes, and HHSC’s provider finance initiatives, including CHIRP, HARP, ATLIS, and UC/DSH funding. Discussions focused on payment schedules, preprint submissions, and federal budget proposals that could impact Medicaid policy. Stakeholders emphasized consistent reporting standards, increased transparency in rebasing, and the need for full funding to avoid harmful cuts.
