2.1.4.5 Provider's License

Evidence of current licensure or certification is required to participate in the CSHCN Services Program. Not abiding by this license and certification update requirement may impact a provider's qualification for continued participation in the CSHCN Services Program.

An enrolling provider submits professional license information in Section A of the enrollment form. A copy of the license does not need to be sent with the enrollment application. TMHP verifies this information with the appropriate licensing board. Once enrolled in the CSHCN Services Program, a reminder letter will be automatically generated and sent to providers whose license will expire in 60 days.

A provider cannot be enrolled if his or her license is due to expire within 30 days of the date of application.

TMHP receives licensure information from the following licensing boards:

•Texas Medical Board

•Texas State Board of Dental Examiners

•Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists

•Texas Board of Nursing

•Texas State Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners

When the license is renewed, providers licensed by the boards listed above will not need to contact TMHP with renewal information. Providers that are licensed by a board not listed above must submit updated licensure and certification as it is renewed. Documentation should be sent to the address listed in Section 2.1, "Provider Enrollment".
