Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Services

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), on behalf of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) Child Protective Services (CPS), is issuing an Open Enrollment to enter into contracts with qualified Applicants for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Services. The purpose is to keep children safe by providing SUD assessments, treatment, court-related services, and diagnostic consultations to parents, caregivers, and others referred by CPS. The Open Enrollment is released on a statewide basis, with contracts awarded regionally. The enrollment period is open from May 2, 2022 to August 31, 2027, with an anticipated contract start date of no earlier than September 1, 2022. Compensation is on a fee-for-service basis using a specified fee schedule, with Medicaid as the first source of payment for eligible clients. Contractors must be licensed as a Substance Abuse Treatment Facility by the Texas Department of State Health Services and enrolled in Medicaid.

The Open Enrollment does not provide specific pricing terms or set-asides, and it is an ongoing application process, so there is no award date or contract term mentioned. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements, including holding a Substance Abuse Treatment Facility license, being enrolled in the Texas Medicaid program, and being contracted with the relevant Managed Care Organizations. The procurement does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and it does not specify any budget ranges or award values. DFPS reserves the right to cancel, make partial awards, or reject any applications at its sole discretion.
