|
HHSC will switch to a new reporting system for Medicaid cost reports and Directed Payment Program enrollments starting in early 2026. The new system, State of Texas Electronic Provider System (STEPS), will update and simplify the cost reporting and enrollment processes. The current system, the State of Texas Automated Information Reporting System (STAIRS), will remain in use until the transition is complete.
Reporting Information and Resources
- STEPS will replace the current STAIRS cost reporting system in early 2026.
