Best Practices

Here are a few guidelines for successful testimony to Texas HHSC Provider Finance during Rate Hearings:

Speak clearly and be succinct
Have a specific ask
Use logical reasoning and documentation to support your claims
Understand how rates are reviewed and target your testimony accordingly
DO NOT attempt to address rates that are not up for review
Follow up oral testimony with written testimony
If unable to attend, remove yourself from registration and provide written testimony
Keep to your allotted time (typically 3 minutes)

TexMEP will be available to assist or edit your testimony. Written comments regarding the proposed payment rates may be submitted instead of, or in addition to, oral testimony until 5:00 p.m. on the day of the hearing.
