Panel 4C: “Navigating the Transition”
August 28, 2025 | 11:15 AM

More about the session:
Join us for an essential panel discussion featuring Provider Finance Leaders from HHSC, Managed Care Organizations, and cost reporting experts as we break down the upcoming transition to a new, streamlined rate structure for attendant services. This session will explore the elimination of the ACRE add-on and the transition to a two-part rate model: the Attendant Cost Area (ACA) and the Service Support (administrative) component.

Panelists will explain how this shift impacts reimbursement, wage expectations, and administrative allocations. Attendees will gain clarity on average wage benchmarks, billing expectations for both FFS and Managed Care, and how to strategically manage the new rate to support sustainability and growth.

Whether you’re a provider, administrator, or financial manager, this session will equip you with the insights and tools needed to adapt confidently and effectively.
