In 2011,Texas pursued a Health Care Transformation and Quality Improvement Program Medicaid Section 1115 Waiver(Waiver)
at the direction of the Texas Legislature.The Waiver empowers local communities to transform the delivery of health care by
establishing local projects tailored to meet communities'unique health care needs.However,the Waiver requires local government
funds to support Waiver payments.As such,communities without hospital districts are disadvantaged because they lack a
mechanism to generate funds for Intergovernmental Transfers(IGT)to draw down federal dollars.
In 2015 the Texas Legislature created the Local Provider Participation Funds(LPPF)in an effort to help Texas safety-net hospitals
deal with the challenges of accessing a significant percentage of their allocated federal matching funds in comparison to large well-
funded hospitals.The LPPF allows funds eligible for match to be collected by Brazos County directly from area hospitals in the form
of mandatory assessment payments.Brazos County hospitals provide a tremendous amount of uncompensated care,but Brazos
County does not have a hospital district to IGT for federal funds.An LPPF allows local providers access to more funds under the
1115 Wavier and would help ensure access to care and reduce the level of uncompensated care in the community. Brazos County
created a LPPF in the fall of 2015 as allowed by the Health&Safety Code Section 296.
Funds are restricted by both State statute and Commissioners' Court.
