Coming Soon: Updated PASRR NFSS Instructions for DME and CMWC

Last updated on

Beginning June 27, 2025, the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) will update the instructions for requesting durable medical equipment (DME) and customized manual wheelchairs (CMWCs) through Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Nursing Facility Specialized Services (NFSS).

Overview of Instruction Updates

The updated instructions will state that relevant diagnoses must be entered in the justification fields of requests for DME and CMWCs. This clarification will help to ensure PASRR NFSS reviewers have the required diagnosis information when reviewing authorization requests, which will reduce delays and denials caused by incomplete or inaccurate submissions.

Note: While no new NFSS PDF forms will be created, the labels on both new and previously submitted requests will be updated to reflect the revised instructions.
