UHRIP SDA Liaison,
 
HHSC is providing notification that the IGT for the September 2019 UHRIP Payment must be entered into TexNet no later than close of business May 24, 2019 with a settlement date of May 28, 2019. These funds will need to be placed in the "UHRIP" Bucket. The amount that needs to be entered into TexNet is listed in Column K of the “Internal BN Allotment & IGT” tab of the attached Excel workbook. Please note that the percentage increases by class of hospital can be found in the “Analysis” tab of the attached Excel workbook.
 
If the TexNet is entered online, please provide a screen shot or PDF of the confirmation/trace sheet. If the TexNet is entered over the phone, please provide the confirmation number. Please send an email with this information to RAD_UHRIP_Payments@hhsc.state.tx.us
 
 
Please note that the FFY 2017 Encounter payment data used in the initial applications were updated to the Actuarial trended 2018 Encounter payments that account for patients being in and out of network. Using these payments for the initial percent reductions enabled HHSC to maximize the allotted dollars for PGY3 of UHRIP.
 
Please email any questions regarding this change or the calculation in general to RAD-Uhrip@hhsc.state.tx.us.
 
 
Thank You,
