TX HHS Form 1742. Service Backup Plan for HCS. TxHmL and CFC Services

The Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Form 1742, Service Backup Plan for HCS, TxHmL, and CFC Services, is a mandatory document that outlines the backup plan for each waiver service identified on the Person-Centered Texas Home Living (TxHimL) or Community First Choice (CFC) services. The purpose of this form is to ensure continuity of care in the event of an absence of service delivery.

This form requires providers to identify a resource person, either a paid Service Provider or an unpaid Natural Support, who will assume responsibility for delivering services in the event of an absence. Providers must also provide contact information, including phone numbers and alternate numbers, to facilitate communication. The service backup plan must be reviewed at least annually to ensure that it remains effective and up-to-date.

The Service Backup Plan Form 1742 is essential for ensuring the continuity of care for individuals receiving waiver services in Texas. As such, it is crucial that providers complete this form accurately and submit it to the issuing agency, Texas HHS, as required. By having a comprehensive backup plan in place, providers can minimize disruptions to service delivery and ensure that individuals receive the support they need.
