Who must complete a new enrollment form?

Providers wanting to participate in the Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Services Program must complete an enrollment application. Providers of medical services must be actively enrolled as a Texas Medicaid provider as a prerequisite to becoming a CSHCN Services Program provider. This requirement is waived for providers of non-medical program services such as family support providers, funeral homes, meals, lodging, or transportation providers.

A new CSHCN Services Program Provider Enrollment Application must be completed whenever a provider is required to reapply to the Texas Medicaid Program because of a change to the following:

·         Medicare Number
