On January 1, 2026, the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) will apply the 2026 Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) additions, revisions, and discontinuations. The updates will be effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2026.
Note: Benefit changes related to the 2026 annual HCPCS updates will be published in a special bulletin by February 1, 2026.
Discontinued procedure codes will no longer be benefits of Texas Medicaid or the Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Services Program.
The presence of “Requires rate hearing” or “Requires rate review” in the 2026 HCPCS Procedure Code Additions table indicates a new procedure code that is pending a rate hearing and approval of expenditures. Providers will be notified in a future article if a new procedure code is not approved for reimbursement.
Providers may refer to the following resources for more information about the public rate hearings and approval of expenditures:
Important: To avoid submitting fraudulent claims, providers must submit claims with the procedure codes that are most appropriate for the services that are provided.

Authorization or Prior Authorization
The Authorization Requirement column of the 2026 HCPCS Procedure Code Additions table indicates whether the procedure codes require authorization or prior authorization.
For procedure codes that require authorization or prior authorization but are awaiting a rate hearing and approval of expenditures, providers must follow the established authorization or prior authorization processes as defined in the following:
- Current Texas Medicaid Provider Procedures Manual (TMPPM)
- Current CSHCN Services Program Provider Manual
- Articles published on the TMHP website at com
Important: For managed care clients, providers must contact the client’s Texas Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) for direction concerning prior authorization requests.
For services that require prior authorization or authorization, providers must obtain a timely authorization or prior authorization for the services that they provide. Providers must not wait until the rate hearing process is complete to request authorization or prior authorization. In this situation, TMHP does not grant retroactive prior authorization requests; the requests are denied as late submissions.
Providers must also meet the initial 95-day claims filing deadline and ensure that the authorization or prior authorization number is on the claim the first time that they submit it to TMHP for consideration of reimbursement. TMHP will deny claims that providers submit without the proper authorization.
Important: Authorization or prior authorization is a condition for reimbursement; it is not a guarantee of payment.
