In case you have not heard, on Friday, April 22, 2022, CMS notified Texas HHSC that the were formally withdrawing their April 2021 rescinding of the January 15, 2021 waiver that was approved under the Trump administration. The January 15, 2021 THTQIP Demonstration Project (1115 Waiver) is fully effective and no longer contested by CMS. CMS determined that it is not the best use of federal government’s limited resources to continue to litigate this matter. CMS also states in the attached letter that they will not re-issue any similar type rescinding or take any further rescinding actions on the January 15, 2021 approval of the THTQIP demonstration project.
