Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1514 amends the Government Code to require the Health and Human Services Commission to ensure that the Medicaid database system is used each month to match Bureau of Vital Statistics death records with a list of Medicaid-eligible individuals and that each person who is deceased is promptly removed from the list of persons eligible for assistance. If the commission determines that a provider has filed a claim for services provided to a person after the person's date of death, the commission must refer the case for investigation to its office of investigations and enforcement.
