The Paper Enrollment Process

Provider who prefer to submit a paper enrollment application must follow this process. For assistance with the application process, call the TMHP-CSHCN Services Program Contact Center at 1-800-568-2413, Option 2. Retain a copy of the original application for future reference.

After completing the enrollment application providers should send it and the supporting documentation to the following address:

Applicants will be notified of incomplete applications and will have 30 business days to provide the requested missing information. If the information is not provided within 30 business days, TMHP will terminate the enrollment process and a new enrollment application must be submitted. To prevent unnecessary delays in the enrollment process, applicants should thoroughly review their enrollment application for accuracy and completeness before submitting it to TMHP.

Who must complete a new enrollment form?

Providers wanting to participate in the 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
• Ownership
• Provider status (individual, group, performing provider, or facility)
• Provider type
