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.

Starting November 9, 2021, for dates of service on or after October 29, 2021, the reimbursement rates for COVID-19 vaccine administration procedure codes 0071A and 0072A will be implemented for Texas Medicaid and the Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Services Program.
