In accordance with Texas Health and Safety Code §314A.105,
the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) may assess an
annual supervision fee in an amount that is at least $75,000 but not
more than $200,000 for each hospital operating under a Certificate
of Public Advantage (COPA).
(1) The amount of the annual supervision fee is $100,000
for each hospital operating under the COPA. However, HHSC may decrease
this amount to the statutory minimum or increase this amount to the
statutory maximum by the amount needed to cover the reasonable costs
incurred in supervising hospitals and in implementing and administering
Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 314A and this chapter.
(2) The amount of any increase of the annual supervision
fee may not exceed 25% of the previous annual supervision fee.
(3) HHSC shall publish on its website and directly
notify each hospital operating under the COPA of the amount of the
supervision fee annually and at least 90 days before any increase
takes effect.
(4) Each hospital operating under a COPA shall pay
the first supervision fee no later than 30 calendar days after the
date HHSC issues the COPA.
(5) Each hospital operating under a COPA shall pay
each subsequent supervision fee no later than the anniversary of the
date HHSC issued the COPA.
