HCS Program & Cameras in Private Areas:
HHSC Medicaid division sent Regulatory staff at HHSC an email informing them that “CMS thinks there’s a privacy concern regarding cameras being allowed in private areas (even if justifications are in place), and that CMS will no longer permit this practice.”
According to HHSC, currently, there are no HCS rules specific to this matter. HHSC stated that more details will be forthcoming, but for now, members should be informed that, in the future, this will no longer be permissible. They will provide more clarification in the near future.
