This committee provides recommendations and ongoing input to HHSC on the operation of Medicaid managed care throughout the state of Texas. The committee also guides policy related to Medicaid managed care, and serves as the central source for stakeholder input to HHSC.
Webcasting is available for this meeting, or you may attend in person. This meeting will be held at:
Health and Human Services Commission
Brown-Heatly Building, Public Hearing Room

Austin, TX 78751
The agenda for this meeting includes subcommittee reports on the following goals:
· Goal 1 - Provide Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) leadership with an accurate and balanced view of both challenges and opportunities identified in the Medicaid managed care delivery system, and offer innovative and operationally practical solutions.
· Goal 2 - Develop sound recommendations that directly affect Medicaid managed care clients by prioritizing quality health outcomes, patient safety, and fiscal responsibility in the delivery of programs and services.
· Goal 3 - Advise HHSC on activities related to ensuring clients or members are receiving timely care coordination for medically and functionally necessary services across all Medicaid managed care programs. This will include recommendations for continuous collaborative communication between HHSC, managed care organizations, members, and providers, as well as for the rapid resolution of eligibility and enrollment issues.
In addition, the Advisory Committee’s role in planning for future managed care rule, policy and operational changes, as well as value-based purchasing initiatives, will be discussed.
Thank you!
