Now Effective: LTCOP HCS and TxHmL Transfer Form Submission Sequencing Enhancements

Last updated on

On December 18, 2025, the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) released enhancements to the Long-Term Care Online Portal (LTCOP) that are designed to streamline the transfer process for the Home and Community-based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living (TxHmL) waiver programs. These updates are now in effect for use by providers and local intellectual and developmental disability authorities (LIDDAs).

What’s Changed

TMHP has implemented the following features:

  • When a LIDDA submits an Individual Plan of Care (IPC) Transfer form, the LTCOP will now automatically include the corresponding Individual Movement (IMT)-Individual Update form. Separate IMT-Individual Update submissions are no longer necessary when an IPC Transfer is processed.

Note: There is no change to the current process for LIDDA reassignments or for IMT-Individual Updates that are used without an IPC Transfer form.

  • The county filter on the IPC Transfer form now displays only the counties that are served by the submitting LIDDA.
  • When a LIDDA selects an active location code on the IPC Transfer form, the LTCOP will now autofill the individual’s physical address. If an inactive location code is chosen, the system will display an instructional error message. LIDDAs can update the individual’s own home/family home (OHFH) physical address on the IPC Transfer form.

Training Updates

TMHP will publish updated training materials on the TMHP Learning Management System (LMS) and the 1915(c) Reference Material web page.

Note: “Appendix A: Scenarios for Selecting an IMT Purpose and IPC Type” of the LTC HCS and TxHmL Waiver Programs Provider User Guide will be updated to reflect that the IMT-Individual Update is no longer required after the IPC Transfer is processed.

Future Related Enhancements

TMHP will implement a separate enhancement to combine Revision IPC and IMT-Individual Update form submissions. TMHP will provide more information about this update in a future article.
