The 15 readiness domains behind the readiness check — organized into five phases so you can see what becomes actionable first, what can run in parallel, and what has to be operating-ready.
Program model, founder posture, entity, market, and early feasibility.
No standalone domain is assigned here in the current pack. Cross-domain launch work still appears in the readiness result.
Entity, leadership, facility, financing, and application readiness.
Form the legal entity, complete HHSC pre-application prerequisites, and identify the administrator of record.
Physical-plant compliance requires a licensed architect familiar with HHSC PPECC requirements. These questions assess planning posture, not architectural compliance.
Licensure, enrollment, payer setup, medical records, and required leadership.
Operating area for Licensing Readiness — assemble and submit the Texas PPECC application packet via TULIP.
Operating area for Medical Records Readiness — record content requirements and retention.
Clinical leadership, nursing, therapy, admissions, plan of care, QAPI, and transportation.
Operating area for Clinical Leadership Readiness — identify and credential the Medical Director and Director of Nursing.
Operating area for Nursing Operations Readiness — staffing ratios, nursing documentation, and admission assessment timing.
Therapist licensure and supervision decisions require licensed therapy professionals and legal counsel. These questions assess operational planning awareness.
Operating area for Admissions Readiness — admissions process, TMHP eligibility verification, and admission packet design.
Operating area for Plan-of-Care Readiness — interdisciplinary POC template, physician-signature timelines, and transportation stability documentation.
Operating area for QAPI Readiness — written QAPI program, quality indicators, and annual effectiveness evaluation.
Operating area for Transportation Readiness — transportation logs and T2002 billing-evidence documentation.
Authorization, billing evidence, survey readiness, systems, and operating cadence.
STAR Kids MCO requirements vary by managed care plan; direct MCO engagement is required for MCO-specific PA requirements. This domain cannot predict payer enrollment outcomes.
Current T1025, T1026, and T2002 dollar rates are not published here. Verify current rates directly at the TMHP fee schedule portal (public.tmhp.com/FeeSchedules → CSHCN Services).
Survey readiness requires engagement with qualified PPECC consultants, legal counsel, and clinical leadership. These questions assess whether preparation has begun.
No specific software system is required to obtain a Texas PPECC license. Harbor is one option; founders should evaluate systems against their specific operating model.
The readiness check converts this lifecycle into a score, strengths, gaps, and your next five actions. Harbor is optional if you later want to carry the operating blueprint forward.
