Tex. Health & Safety Code Section 300A.0153
Correction of Invalid Provision or Procedure; Limitation of Authority

(a)

This chapter does not authorize the district to collect mandatory payments for the purpose of raising general revenue or any amount in excess of the amount reasonably necessary to:

(1)

fund the nonfederal share of a Medicaid supplemental payment program or Medicaid managed care rate enhancements for nonpublic hospitals; and

(2)

cover the administrative expenses of the district associated with activities under this chapter and other uses of the fund described by Section 300A.0103 (Deposits to Fund; Authorized Uses of Money)(b).

(b)

To the extent any provision or procedure under this chapter causes a mandatory payment authorized under this chapter to be ineligible for federal matching funds, the board may provide by rule for an alternative provision or procedure that conforms to the requirements of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A rule adopted under this section may not create, impose, or materially expand the legal or financial liability or responsibility of the district or an institutional health care provider in the district beyond the provisions of this chapter. This section does not require the board to adopt a rule.

(c)

The district may only assess and collect a mandatory payment authorized under this chapter if a waiver program, uniform rate enhancement, or reimbursement described by Section 300A.0103 (Deposits to Fund; Authorized Uses of Money)(b)(1) is available to the district.
