Last updated on

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.

Effective March 4, 2021, for dates of service on or after February 27, 2021, the reimbursement rate for procedure code 0031A has been updated for Texas Medicaid.

Affected claims with dates of service from February 27, 2021, through March 4, 2021, if any are identified, will be reprocessed. Providers are not required to appeal the claims unless they are denied for additional reasons after the claims reprocessing is completed.
