Government Entities/Providers:
 
Please carefully review this message in its entirety making note of the information provided which pertains to the DY8 Delivery System Reform Incentive Payments (DSRIP).
 
Attached are the following files: DSRIP Notification- DY8 Round 1 July 2019 Affiliation Summary and DY8 Round 1 July 2019 IGT Summary workbooks. These workbooks include DY8 DSRIP payments, DY7 Carryforward Reporting, DY6 Carryforward Reporting, and DSRIP DY8 Monitoring.
 
The DY8 Round 1 July 2019 Affiliation Summary workbook has separate tabs for each Regional Healthcare Partnership (RHP) and contains the Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) needed, by affiliation, for DY8 Round 1 DSRIP payments, DY7 Carry Forward, and DY6 Carry Forward.
 
The DY8 Round 1 July 2019 IGT Summary workbook has separate tabs for each RHP and contains the total IGT needed by each IGT Entity for the DY8 Round 1 DSRIP payments, DY7 Carryforward Reporting, DY6 Carryforward Reporting, and DSRIP DY8 Monitoring.
 
Providers can determine their estimated payment amount by dividing Column M of the DY8 Round 1 July 2019 Affiliation Summary by the state share of the current FMAP. The current FMAP is 58.19%/41.81%.
 
The Transformation Waiver Team emailed the Anchors information to share with providers regarding how much will be paid by Category and measure on Friday, June 14, 2019. Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Rate Analysis is unable to answer questions regarding this information.  Please send any questions regarding this information to TXHealthcareTransformation@hhsc.state.tx.us
 
HHSC requires that the appropriate TexNet bucket are used for DSRIP Monitoring IGTs and DSRIP Reporting IGTs. The DSRIP Monitoring IGT should be placed in DSRIP Audit Cost and the DSRIP Reporting IGT should be placed in DSRIP.  If the full DSRIP Monitoring IGT is not submitted in Audit Cost, HHSC will reallocate IGTs for DSRIP Reporting for DSRIP Monitoring payments.  Note that failure to submit two separate transactions or failure to IGT the full DSRIP Monitoring requirement may result in a delayed payment as additional manual steps will need to be performed.   
 
IGT Entities may choose to IGT less than the required amount for DSRIP Reporting payments; however, all affiliated providers and metrics will be paid proportionately. IGT may not be directed towards specific providers, Categories, or metrics.
 
A screen shot/.pdf of the confirmation/trace sheet or email of the confirmation number if the TexNet is submitted over the phone is required and must be emailed to Rate_Analysis_DSRIP_Payments@hhsc.state.tx.us. We are requesting that all government entities enter their IGT transactions into TexNet no later than July 1^st with a Settlement Date of July 2^nd.  No IGT's submitted after July 1^st will be accepted. 
 
 
HHSC Accounting will request the Comptroller to issue payments according to the following estimated schedule:
 

Monday, July 01, 2019	Last date for Public entities to enter TexNet and submit Trace Sheet
Tuesday, July 02, 2019	TexNet Sweeps (Settlement date of funds)
Wednesday, July 17, 2019	Payment issue date for Transferring Hospitals "Big 6"
Wednesday, July 31, 2019	Payment issue date for Non-Transferring Hospitals
