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.

The following Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) COVID-19 flexibilities have been extended through July 31, 2021, unless the federal public health emergency (PHE) ends sooner.  HHSC will provide more information if there are changes.
