Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) will conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed new rule §355.9040 under Title 1, Part 15, Chapter 355, Subchapter M, Miscellaneous Programs.  This rule establishes the reimbursement methodology for the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services program administered by the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services.  HHSC, under its authority and responsibility to administer and implement rates, is proposing this rule to codify the reimbursement methodology for this program, which provides services to individuals with a traumatic brain injury or traumatic spinal cord injury. The proposed new rule was published in the August 7, 2015, issue of the Texas Register. See 40 TexReg 4971 (August 7, 2015).
