Note: Texas Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) must provide all medically necessary, Medicaid-covered services to Medicaid members who are enrolled in their MCO. Administrative procedures, such as prior authorization, precertification, referrals, and claims and encounter data filing, may differ from traditional Medicaid (fee-for-service) and from MCO to MCO. Providers should contact the member’s specific MCO for details.

On March 1, 2024, the Texas Medicaid Provider Procedures Manual (TMPPM), Vision and Hearing Services Handbook, Section 2.2.3.8, “SHARS Audiology Services,” will be updated.

The update includes:

  • Reimbursement information for audiology services provided by school districts and state agencies that are enrolled with Texas Medicaid as School Health and Related Services (SHARS) providers.
  • An updated reference to Section 2.3.1 “Audiology Services” in the School Health and Related Services (SHARS) Handbook.
