Note: Texas Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) must provide all medically necessary, Medicaid-covered services to eligible clients. Administrative procedures such as prior authorization, pre-certification, referrals, and claims/encounter data filing may differ from traditional Medicaid (fee-for-service) and from MCO to MCO. Providers should contact the client's specific MCO for details.

On February 11, 2021, and February 18, 2021, TMHP will conduct live webinars for newly enrolled Texas Medicaid providers.

The webinars will feature important information for new providers to ensure their success and compliance with Texas Medicaid. These webinars will also serve as a refresher for existing providers.
