When the Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) receives valid Medicare claims, DHS pays a portion of the Medicare Part A skilled nursing facility (SNF) deductible and coinsurance. When Medicare changes its daily interim payment, DHS adjusts the Medicaid payment on the Part A SNF coinsurance amount if necessary. The adjustment is effective on the first day of the month following the Medicare change.
