Cost Comparison ReportGeneral Appropriations Act,
Health and Human Services
The 2018-19 General Appropriations Act, S.B. 1, 85th Legislature, Regular Session, 2017
(Article II, Health and Human Services Commission, Rider 5), directs the Health and Human
Services Commission (HHSC) to prepare a report analyzing the costs of state and federally
funded residential and non-residential services for persons with intellectual disabilities and
related conditions for which it is the Medicaid operating agency.
Institutional services are delivered at state-operated and non-state-operated intermediate care
facilities (ICF) for individuals with an intellectual disability (IID) or related conditions. ICF/IID
services include residential services, habilitation services, medical services, skills training and
adjunctive therapy services.
Non-institutional services are provided by two 1915(c) Medicaid waiver programs: Home and
Community-based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living (TxHmL). HCS and TxHmL services
include adaptive aids, case management, counseling and therapies (audiology, speech/language
pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, dietary services, social work and psychology),
minor home modifications, dental treatment, nursing, residential assistance, respite, day
habilitation and supported employment. The HCS service array also includes residential services
provided in three- and four-bed group homes.
Medicaid reimbursed acute care services, such as hospitalization and doctor visits, provided to
consumers in non-state operated ICFs/IID, HCS, and TxHmL are paid by the Texas Health and
Human Services Commission (HHSC). For the state supported living centers (SSLCs), these
costs are covered in the per diem reimbursement rate.

2. Background Information
This report includes an analysis of the total average monthly Medicaid costs for persons served
in each of the following settings:
1. SSLCs
2. ICFs/IID other than SSLCs 3. HCS residential 4. HCS non-residential
5. TxHmL
The cost data includes all Medicaid expenditures, both programmatic and acute care for these
populations, as well as the distribution of each population by level of need (LON). The costs for
SSLCs include SWICAP (State Wide Indirect Cost Allocation Plan), DICAP (Department Indirect
Cost Allocation Plan), maintenance and construction costs, employee benefit costs and other
federally allowable administrative, medical and overhead costs. The data in this report covers
the time period of fiscal year 2017 (September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017).
This report shows monthly Medicaid costs per consumer for the five different settings identified
above. Where the State is the service provider (SSLCs), these costs are not intended to be used
for the purpose of determining the incremental impact of increasing or reducing the number of
consumers in that setting. As a service provider, the SSLCs have certain operating costs that will
not be impacted with a small increase or decrease in the number of consumers served. When
the change in numbers of consumers is significant enough to impact these operating costs, they
will be changed in different degrees depending on how many consumers are admitted or
discharged and the number of facilities involved.
Where the State is paying providers for services, such as ICFs/IID other than SSLCs and the
HCS/TxHmL waivers, the annual costs per consumer lend themselves more readily to
determining the incremental budget impact of changing caseloads.

LEVELS OF NEED
Five levels of need (LON) have been developed to ensure that consumers’ individual needs are
met. The consumer’s LON is based on his/her score on the Inventory for Client and Agency
Planning (ICAP). In the ICF/IID program, a consumer’s LON may be adjusted upward to account
for special medical or behavioral conditions. An adjustment may be made for an HCS consumer
to account for behavioral conditions.
Intermittent (LON 1)
This individual does not need 24-hour care, demonstrates very independent living skills, with
no significant maladaptive behavior noted. Staff intervention is typically reminders with some
guidance required.
Limited (LON 5)
The skill level of a person at a Limited LON ranges from fairly independent to some personal
care reminders/guidance needed. Behavior intervention or hands-on personal care assistance
may be required. Individuals may have psychiatric disorders, which may be fairly well-
controlled with medication. Staff intervention ranges from reminders to 24-hour guidance and
support.
Extensive (LON 8)
The skill level of a person at an Extensive LON ranges from no self-help skills (due to physical
limitations) to demonstrating some basic self-help skills. Staff intervention includes personal
care assistance utilizing hands-on techniques and/or implementation of behavioral
interventions.
This individual may have some basic self-help skills and demonstrates challenging behavior
requiring intervention. Consumers in this level of need may even require one-on-one
supervision or care for safety reasons, but not 16 hours a day.
Pervasive Plus (LON 9)
Individuals at this LON require one-on-one staff supervision within arm’s length of the
consumer during all waking hours due to their life-threatening behavior.
