On September 1, 2024, the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) will update the Texas Medicaid Provider Procedures Manual (TMPPM), Provider Enrollment and Responsibilities Handbook, Section 1.7, “Provider Responsibilities,” to include a new subsection titled “Nondiscrimination for Vaccine Status.”

In accordance with House Bill 44, 88th Legislature, Regular Session, 2023, Medicaid providers may not refuse to provide health care services to any Medicaid client based solely on the client’s refusal or failure to obtain a vaccine or immunization for a particular infectious or communicable disease unless excepted by Texas Government Code §531.02119.
