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.

Effective for dates of service on or after May 1, 2024, prior authorization criteria will be required for enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) apadamtase alfa (Adzynma) procedure code C9167 and cipaglucosidase alfa-atga (Pombiliti) procedure code J1203.
