Out of the chaos, could they see the opportunities. Out of the tensions, could they see the possibilities for reconciliation. Out of the problems we are facing, could they see solutions that come through seeking your will. Though there are constant changes that are taking place all around us daily, thank you that you are the unchanging God. Would everything that is considered today be a blessing to our fellow man and bring honor to your name.

The purpose of this subchapter is to authorize the commission to establish and administer the Texas ambulance response safety net program as a self-funded ground ambulance service provider participation program for ground ambulance service providers in accordance with this subchapter.
Sec. 773.302. DEFINITIONS. In this subchapter:
(1) "Average commercial rate" means the average amount payable by commercial payors for the same service. The rate is calculated by:
(A) aligning the paid Medicaid claims with the Medicare fees for each Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System code or Current Procedural Terminology code for a ground ambulance service provider;
(B) calculating the Medicare payment for the claims described in Paragraph (A);
(C) calculating a commercial-to-Medicare conversion factor for each ground ambulance service provider by dividing the total amount of the average commercial payments for the claims by the total Medicare payments for the claims; and
(D) recalculating at least once every three years the commercial-to-Medicare ratio for ground ambulance service providers.
(2) "Net patient revenue" means a ground ambulance service provider's estimated net realizable revenue from patients, third-party payors, and other entities for ground ambulance services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments required by reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. The term does not include:
(A) the amounts the provider reduces for payors who have a fee schedule established by federal or state statute or a contractual agreement;
(B) Medicaid payments received by the provider, including any payments for individuals who are dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare;
(C) amounts the provider reduces to zero as an uncollectible payment from any payor that are not contractual allowances, provided that the provider attempted to collect the payment; or
(D) amounts related to ground ambulance services that are waived or forgiven by a paying entity due to the financial hardship of the patient, provided that the waiver or forgiveness is implemented in accordance with a written policy of the entity that is consistent with national standards adopted by the Healthcare Financial Management Association or a similar organization.
Sec. 773.303. APPLICABILITY. (a) This subchapter applies only to a ground ambulance service provider that is:
(1) an emergency medical services provider as defined by Section 773.003 and licensed under this chapter;
(2) a nonpublic, nonfederal provider of ground ambulance services; and
(3) a participant in the state Medicaid program.
(b) This subchapter does not apply to:
(1) an entity that provides only nonemergency ground ambulance services;
(2) a state or local governmental entity that provides ground ambulance services; or
(3) an entity that is required to hold a license under Section 773.045(b).
(c) The executive commissioner may not modify the applicability of this subchapter in an effort to comply with the requirements of 42 C.F.R. Section 433.68.
Sec. 773.304. MANDATORY PAYMENTS BASED ON NET PATIENT REVENUE. (a) Except as otherwise provided by this subchapter, the commission shall require an annual mandatory payment to be assessed on each ground ambulance service provider's net patient revenue related to the provision of emergency ground ambulance services. The mandatory payment is to be collected quarterly. The commission shall update the amount of the mandatory payment at least annually.
(b) The commission shall uniformly and consistently impose the mandatory payment on each ground ambulance service provider and use the same formula for each provider in calculating the mandatory payment.
(c) The total amount of all mandatory payments for the state fiscal year in which the mandatory payments are imposed may not exceed:
(1) the state portion, excluding any federal financial participation, of the cost of reimbursement enhancements provided in this subchapter that are directly attributable to reimbursements to ground ambulance service providers; or
(2) an amount equal to six percent of the net operating revenue of all ground ambulance service providers for the provision of emergency ground ambulance services, or an amount otherwise permitted by federal law, provided that the maximum mandatory payment for a provider in any year may not exceed the provider's net patient revenue, as reported by the provider, subject to Section 773.306(b).
(d) Subject to the maximum amount prescribed by Subsection (c), the commission shall set the mandatory payment in an amount that in the aggregate generates sufficient revenue to cover the administrative expenses of the commission for activities under this subchapter.
(e) Not later than the 30th day before the end of each quarter, the commission shall issue to each ground ambulance service provider a notice of the amount of the mandatory payment required to be paid by the provider in the next quarter.
(f) A ground ambulance service provider may not add a mandatory payment required under this subchapter as a surcharge to a patient or a third-party payor.
(g) A ground ambulance service provider shall make mandatory payments only in the manner provided by this subchapter.
Sec. 773.305. ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF MANDATORY PAYMENTS. (a) Subject to Subsection (b), the commission shall collect a mandatory payment required under this subchapter.
(b) The commission may contract for the assessment and collection of mandatory payments under this subchapter.
Sec. 773.306. REPORT; INSPECTION OF RECORDS. (a) The commission shall require a ground ambulance service provider to submit a report at least annually, but not more than quarterly, that includes information necessary to assist the commission in making a determination on mandatory payments under this subchapter.
(b) The executive commissioner may audit or inspect the records of a ground ambulance service provider to the extent necessary to ensure the accuracy of any data submitted to the commission under this subchapter.
Sec. 773.307. FAILURE TO SUBMIT TIMELY OR ACCURATE REPORT OR PAYMENT; AUDIT; ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY. (a) The commission may assess a reasonable penalty against a ground ambulance service provider, not to exceed 15 percent of the quarterly portion of the provider's mandatory payment, for failure to timely submit the quarterly portion of a mandatory payment or a report required under this subchapter.
(b) If a ground ambulance service provider submits an inaccurate report required under this subchapter, the commission may conduct an audit of the provider's records and may require the provider to pay the cost of any audit expenses and related hearings.
(c) A penalty assessed under this section is in addition to any other penalties and remedies applicable under state or federal law.
(d) If a ground ambulance service provider refuses to submit a quarterly portion of a mandatory payment, the commission may suspend all Medicaid payments to the provider until:
(1) the provider submits the quarterly portion of the mandatory payment and any associated penalties; or
(2) the provider and the commission reach a negotiated settlement.
Sec. 773.308. TEXAS AMBULANCE RESPONSE SAFETY NET TRUST FUND. (a) The Texas ambulance response safety net trust fund is established as a trust fund to be held by the comptroller outside the state treasury and administered by the commission as trustee.
(b) The trust fund consists of:
(1) all revenue from the mandatory payments required by this subchapter, including any administrative penalties and any interest attributable to delinquent payments; and
(2) the earnings of the fund.
(c) Money deposited to the trust fund may be used only to:
(1) provide reimbursements for ground ambulance services delivered to Medicaid recipients under a fee-for-service arrangement by a ground ambulance service provider to which this subchapter applies based on the provider's average commercial rate, including reimbursement enhancements to the statewide dollar amount rate used to reimburse ground ambulance service providers;
(2) pay the administrative expenses of the commission solely for activities under this subchapter; and
(3) refund a portion of a mandatory payment collected in error from a provider.
(d) All revenue from the mandatory payments required by this subchapter must be deposited in the trust fund.
(e) Money in the trust fund may not be used to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. No. 111-148) as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. No. 111-152).
Sec. 773.309. INVALIDITY; FEDERAL FUNDS. The commission shall stop collection of the mandatory payment and, not later than the 30th day after the date collection is stopped, return to each ground ambulance service provider, in proportion to the total amount paid by each provider compared to the total amount paid by all providers, any unspent money deposited to the credit of the trust fund, if:
(1) any provision of or procedure under this subchapter is held invalid by a final court order that is not subject to appeal;
(2) the commission determines that the imposition of the mandatory payment and the expenditure of amounts collected as prescribed by this subchapter will not entitle the state to receive federal matching funds under the Medicaid program or will be inconsistent with the objectives described by Section 537.002(b)(7), Government Code; or
(3) the commission determines that the amount of the mandatory payments collected would exceed the amount paid in increased Medicaid fee-for-service reimbursement rates for services provided to individuals who are dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare.
Sec. 773.310. RULES. The executive commissioner shall adopt rules necessary to implement this subchapter.
SECTION ____. Subchapter B, Chapter 32, Human Resources Code, is amended by adding Section 32.080 to read as follows:
Sec. 32.080. ENHANCED PAYMENT MODEL FOR CERTAIN AMBULANCE PROVIDERS. (a) The executive commissioner, in consultation with ambulance providers, by rule shall establish an enhanced payment model for reimbursing non-state operated public ambulance providers who provide ground emergency medical transportation services to recipients of medical assistance. The enhanced payment model must be implemented under the Medicaid fee-for-service delivery model through supplemental payments and the Medicaid managed care delivery model through an enhanced reimbursement or payment rate.
(b) The commission may not use general revenue to reimburse non-state operated public ambulance providers under or administer the enhanced payment model.
(c) Reimbursements made under the enhanced payment model must be:
(1) in addition to money appropriated to the commission for reimbursing non-state operated public ambulance providers; and
(2) provided in a manner that maximizes the availability of federal money.
(d) Under the enhanced payment model, the commission may:
(1) receive and spend money from an intergovernmental transfer on:
(A) reimbursing non-state operated public ambulance providers; and
(B) covering the cost of establishing and administering the enhanced payment model; and
(2) as necessary, certify that reimbursements made under the enhanced payment model are public funds eligible for federal financial participation in accordance with the requirements of 42 C.F.R. Section 433.51.
SECTION ____. As soon as practicable after the effective date of this Act, the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission shall establish the amount of the initial mandatory payment imposed under Subchapter J, Chapter 773, Health and Safety Code, as added by this Act, based on available net patient revenue information.
SECTION ____. If before implementing any provision of this Act a state agency determines that a waiver or authorization from a federal agency is necessary for implementation of that provision, the agency affected by the provision shall request the waiver or authorization and:
(1) for a provision of Subchapter J, Chapter 773, Health and Safety Code, as added by this Act, shall delay implementing that provision, including the collection of a mandatory payment, until the waiver or authorization is granted and begin implementing the provision on the date the waiver or authorization is granted; and
(2) for any other provision, may delay implementing the provision until the waiver or authorization is granted.
(2) Strike SECTION 8 of the bill (page 12, lines 6-11) and renumber subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly.

CSHB 1973 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE SWANSON: I just want to clarify and put in the journal that she has said she will not take amendments in the senate and will pass the bill as is. Is that correct, Representative?
REPRESENTATIVE BUTTON: Yes, that's absolutely right, but I do want to say that it's very important to get everybody feeling comfortable because this has been going on for a long time. Okay, the speaker just corrected me. I cannot promise anything that will happen in the senate.
REPRESENTATIVE RODRIGUEZ: We talked about this bill over the last couple of days, actually. I'm one of the house members here that writes letters all the time for certain projects that I think are worthwhile that I want to support. I want to just ask some clarifying questions about this bill. If I choose to write a letter for one particular development or project and there's two or three others that I do not want to write a letter for, can I still write a letter––a neutral letter––and those points will not go to the City of Austin or go to my county or wherever else?
BUTTON: Representative Rodriguez, you are absolutely right. There's no change to your current practice at all. It will not affect you, so you are doing the right thing, and you have time to research all your projects. Please continue to do what is the best for your district because that is why your district elected you to do what they want, and I respect that, and I thank you for your service.
RODRIGUEZ: So the only way that those points would automatically go to a city is if I don't write a letter at all, correct?
BUTTON: Correct.
REPRESENTATIVE COLEMAN: Some districts have different challenges compared to other districts. Clearly, we want the best affordable housing developments and the best builder and developers to build and operate those affordable housing developments in our districts. That's correct?
BUTTON: Absolutely correct.
COLEMAN: And so due diligence that's been done by a member to make sure that that happens or out of, say, five projects, one is the most needed in the area and he chooses that one, all things being equal, because that's what's needed. So if it's senior housing, that choice is based on the type of development. That still is allowed, correct?
BUTTON: That's correct. We're not changing anything. And as a matter of fact, you know that there's a long list of other factors involved with selecting the project. The total points is 180 points, a long list, but you don't want me to waste time to read it to you.
COLEMAN: Yes, I do know, by the way. What I really want to know is––the follow-up is based on what Representative Rodriguez asked. If there are five people applying for tax credits within my district and I don't sign a letter for four but I sign a letter for one, will those four get the points? Will those points be given to the city to award those other four? Because your bill talks about not signing a letter and that the city can allocate those points.
BUTTON: Right, but the definition of not signing the letters is you don't issue anything. You just kind of completely ignore it. But I know as a very diligent and conscientious representative, you will know all of the five projects. When you decide on one project to pick, on the other four projects you want to stay neutral. So you don't want to issue anything.
COLEMAN: And I don't want them to have the points, either.
BUTTON: That's right. You stay neutral. You don't want to add any points to them. So all you need to do, just as you are doing now, you continue to write a letter saying, "I stay neutral." That's it, and the points will not drop to anybody. They stay right there in your office.
COLEMAN: But the points that I wrote the letter for will apply to that particular project still, correct? Or not?
BUTTON: Correct, correct.
COLEMAN: Okay, so I think that's fine, but I want to make sure that we're really clear about that as we go forward, and let me tell you why. My city chose to preference a 14-unit apartment complex over a 100-unit apartment complex, and it knocked out every other application in my district. So we've got 14 units of affordable housing versus 200, and they controlled that. And so if we want more affordable housing that's decent, what I'm afraid of is that the city or my cities will make choices that are not good for my constituents. Do you understand that?
BUTTON: Yes.
COLEMAN: So that process at the state level actually puts the city in control. Don't you see how that could happen?
BUTTON: That is the time when a good representative who really cares for their district and has real inside knowledge of how to differentiate the different projects will really show his or her value. So you go ahead, issue the letter.
COLEMAN: So what that really means, and I hope you would agree, is that we'll see more "no" letters than we've ever seen before––people who say, "I'm just not for that." And so instead of leaving it neutral, they're going to say––I'm going to say––"I'm against this project."
BUTTON: Well, if you have an opinion, you should let people know. Our committee's concern is that if you don't have the time and the resources to do the project right now, you just write a letter that says, "I'm neutral." Actually, because it's so competitive, because of your letter, you will damage the process.
COLEMAN: Chairwoman Button, I appreciate all of that, and I appreciate what your committee is doing, and I think it's great stuff. Just to be honest with you, I know a little bit more about it than some other people. And so I would like to have a conversation a little more about this off record because one of the things that we've been trying to do is revitalize our districts with the use of good affordable housing as buffers and putting retail in and transit-oriented development and those things that are really important. And that's the reason why being "for" something is extremely important. And so I appreciate what you're doing, and we'll have some conversation about it. I just wanted to make sure that this discussion occurred.
REPRESENTATIVE ROMERO: I want to clarify for the members, the process that exists now is one in which our letter accounts for eight points of the application toward 180 total points. Second, if you stay neutral, that's zero points toward the project. Your bill would then allow our potential eight points, if we didn't support that letter, to go toward the city council's decision, and they could add those eight points. Is that correct?
BUTTON: Let me clarify that––if you don't do anything. But if you issue a letter saying "this is neutral"––you're neutral on project number two––then the points stay in your office. That doesn't go to anybody. You still have the ultimate control.
ROMERO: So you're saying, then, that you would have to write a letter. So this year in my district alone, I had seven projects. So you're saying that I would have to write a letter for each and every single one of those projects not just for the ones I believe to be the best project. Currently, if I wanted to write one letter for one of the seven, I could do that, and those eight points would go toward that project. All the others would not receive any points, whatsoever. Is that correct?
BUTTON: No, that's––okay, let me clarify that.
ROMERO: I'm talking about the current system, Chairwoman.
BUTTON: Yes, the current system. Well, I don't know how you work. In the current system, how I do it is if I––
ROMERO: I'm talking about the current scoring system today. If I do not write a letter, they get zero points. Correct?
BUTTON: That's right. They get zero points. But you remember that I mentioned how competitive they are? So just because you don't write anything for that project––say, project number two––other people will write it, and the project will probably end up in another area. Because one or two points can make a difference.
ROMERO: That's potentially, depending upon the competition. Okay, I want to try to stay on this. So in the current system right now, if I don't write a letter, there is no possibility for those points to go to that project had I not written the letter, correct?
BUTTON: Correct.
ROMERO: Because my points are to me, so if I decide that I want to choose––because I believe that one project is head and shoulders better than the rest and I think in my county only one project is going to win––then I would write a letter for that project. And under this legislation, then I would also have to write a "no" letter for the remaining projects. Otherwise, my points would go to the city council, and the city council would be able to award my points. Is that correct?
BUTTON: That's correct. But if the city council, they share your vision, they might decide to write a letter to give negative points or not to give anything. So this will give local access, but the ultimate control is really in your hands. And the letter doesn't have to be long. It just says, "I stay neutral." That's it.
ROMERO: Yes, but I want to make sure that the members know that in not writing a letter––as we have in the past––that would not give any points to that body but now it would. It would allow for the city council to issue those points. So just for the members to know, they would have to write a "no" letter for those other projects if they want that specific project to stand over and above the rest of them.
BUTTON: Thank you for the reminder. I appreciate that.
REPRESENTATIVE OLIVERSON: Madam Chair, I really appreciate you taking this on and working to find a compromise. This has certainly been a difficult issue, as you've pointed out. I did want to clarify one issue that came up in your conversation with Representative Romero, and that is that your bill––essentially if a representative seeks to not take a position on a project, all they need to do is essentially write a letter saying that they don't have a position on a project, and the net effect is that zero points are awarded either positive or negative. Correct?
BUTTON: Correct.
OLIVERSON: But those points are not then distributed to somebody else, which is a different scenario than if the representative chooses not to respond at all, in which case those points are distributed to others. Is that correct?
BUTTON: Correct. So what you're doing now, if you continue to write a letter, please do so.
OLIVERSON: Right. So again, just one more thing I want to clarify with you. Since this is such an important issue for so many of us, I'm asking you to commit to us as members of the body who are trusting you that if the senate decides that they want to take our points away as they gave up their own points, that you would refuse to concur with their changes to your bill. Would you be willing to make that promise to us?
BUTTON: Dr. Oliverson, you know how hard I help you with other projects. In my heart, I'll say yes––but I was advised by the speaker and the parliamentarian that I cannot make a commitment about what's going on on the other side.
OLIVERSON: I understand what you're saying, but I just want to be clear that I think this issue is important. There are a lot of us that are––I mean, we're just putting all our faith and trust that this isn't going to backfire on us. I've been standing back here talking to members in private conversations, and they're not so sure that they want to support this bill. Not because of you but because they're afraid of what the senate might do. And so they're asking for some encouragement that you're not going to let them hijack your bill. Because we like your bill, we appreciate your work, and we just don't want them to do anything bad to it.
BUTTON: Thank you very much for your concern. You all know I have a real good reputation out there, and you should trust my judgment. But the speaker just advised me I cannot make a promise.
OLIVERSON: I'm not asking you to promise what the senate will do. All I'm asking is whether or not you would––

REPRESENTATIVE ISRAEL: Just a clarifying question, Representative. The current process seems to be working well. I know you're creating some alternatives, which sounds good, but continuing education credits are being approved within 24 hours right now. Does this bill preclude anyone from going on through the current process or is this strictly an alternative?
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL: Well, I can't speak to TDI's process on the timeline, but you're correct that this is just an option. So those gentlemen that have licenses in numerous states may want to choose it, but you do not have to. If you like the continuing process you are doing now, you can continue using that.
ISRAEL: So your intent is not to make adjustments to the current process but to provide something extra, another option.
