26 Tex. Admin. Code § 301.263 - Network Development Evaluation
An LMHA shall evaluate the potential for network development.
(1) The LMHA must seek
and use available information to identify and contact potential provider
organizations, including the list of interested provider organizations posted
on the department's website.
(2)
The LMHA must also consider current contractors, providers who have contacted
the LMHA within the past two years, and other service providers in the local
service area.
(3) If a provider
has submitted printed or electronic documentation of interest, the LMHA may not
eliminate the provider from consideration during the planning process without
evidence that the provider:
(A) is no longer
interested; or
(B) is clearly not
qualified or capable of providing services in accordance with applicable state
and local laws and regulations.
(4) The potential for network development
exists if an LMHA has one or more provider organizations interested in
providing routine outpatient or specialized services.
(5) If an LMHA identifies the potential for
network development, it must develop a procurement plan. The plan shall include
all opportunities for network development, except as limited by the conditions
listed in §
301.259 of this title (relating to
Conditions Permitting LMHA Service Delivery). This includes opportunities to
add new services, new provider organizations, and/or additional capacity. An
LMHA may choose to procure discrete services if it can ensure the integrity of
levels of care and effective service coordination.
