Upon implementation of the rate enhancements associated with the FY2023 awarded levels into the Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership Claims Management System, if your awarded enhancement level is different from your current enhancement level, a retroactive rate adjustment for paid claims with dates of service beginning September 1, 2022, will automatically occur.

HHSC Provider Finance Department (PFD) is continuously processing new providers, terminations, and changes of ownership. We will continue to update these requests monthly.

Providers who participate in these optional programs must be contracted with HHSC. They must also have completed an enrollment contract amendment during the open enrollment period in July 2022.
