SECTION 354.1693. Regional Healthcare Partnerships (RHPs)

Latest version.

(a) An RHP has geographic boundaries as prescribed by HHSC.
(b) An RHP is composed of one anchor and other participants, which may include IGT entities, performers, and other regional stakeholders. A single entity may act in multiple roles.
(c) An IGT entity may participate in more than one RHP contingent upon HHSC approval.
(d) A performer may only participate in the RHP plan update for the RHP in which it is physically located. If a performer has physical locations in more than one RHP, the performer may be assigned to a single "home" RHP of its choosing and participate only in the RHP plan update for its "home" RHP.
(e) A provider must participate in an RHP, as described in §354.1717 of this division (relating to Uncompensated Care (UC) Hospital Requirements), to be eligible to receive a UC pool payment. However, HHSC along with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services may approve exceptions to this requirement on a case by case basis.
