County authorizes intergovernmental transfers from LPPF for RAPPS and CHIRP, sets TexNet deadlines
Summary
The Court approved using the Local Provider Participation Fund to support HHSC IGTs for RAPPS and CHIRP programs and directed staff to enter TexNet trace sheets by the agency deadlines; consultants supplied IGT amounts and calendar deadlines.
McLennan County on June 2 authorized intergovernmental transfers (IGTs) from the Local Provider Participation Fund (LPPF) to provide nonfederal shares for two supplemental Medicaid payment programs—Rural Access to Primary and Preventive Services (RAPPS) and the Comprehensive Hospital Increase Reimbursement Program (CHIRP).
Consultants working with participating hospitals submitted model updates and requested specific TexNet trace-sheet submissions and allocation forms for the RAPPS first-half PGY6 IGT and for the CHIRP PGY6 advance IGT. The court voted to authorize transfers up to the balance of the county LPPF account on the day of each IGT and acknowledged HHSC deadlines: RAPPS entries due in TexNet by June 8 (settlement June 9) for a revised total IGT request of $138,229.43 across SDAs; CHIRP entries due in TexNet by June 12 (settlement June 15).
Court materials show the vendor/consultant requests and the required administrative steps: separate TexNet trace sheets per SDA; follow-up PDF submissions to HHSC after settlement; and coordination with county finance staff. The Court’s authorization instructs staff to proceed with IGT entries consistent with consultant guidance and the LPPF balance.
Why it matters: These intergovernmental transfers move county funds through HHSC mechanisms to leverage supplemental payments to hospitals; such transfers require precise timing and documentation in TexNet and involve multi-party coordination.
What’s next: County staff will prepare and submit TexNet trace sheets and allocation forms per the consultant timeline, remitting IGT amounts within the limits of the LPPF balance and reporting the results to the Court and to HHSC.
