Now Effective: Enhancements to LTCOP HCS and TxHmL IPC Revision Submissions

Last updated on

On February 20, 2026, the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) released enhancements to the Long-Term Care Online Portal (LTCOP) to streamline the Revision Individual Plan of Care (IPC) process for the Home and Community-based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living (TxHmL) programs.

The enhancements combine Revision IPC forms with Individual Movement Tracking (IMT)—Individual Update forms in some scenarios, enabling users to submit required updates through a single form.

What’s Changed

TMHP has updated LTCOP Revision IPC submissions to automatically include the IMT—Individual Update form. 

This improvement prevents out-of-sequence submissions and reduces administrative workload for providers, local intellectual and developmental disability authorities (LIDDAs), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) staff.

Note: The stand-alone IMT—Individual Update form remains available for updates that do not fall under these combined-form scenarios.

Additional Changes to Revision IPC Forms

TMHP has also updated Revision IPC forms to include the following:

  • County field filtering: Only counties served by the program provider or Consumer Directed Services (CDS) agency are displayed.

  • Automatic address population:

  • When a location code is active as of the Revision IPC effective date, the LTCOP will populate the associated address automatically.

  • If a location code is inactive, the system will display an instructional error message.

  • Own home/family home (OHFH) addresses will continue to be editable by users.

Corrections that are made to both existing and newly submitted Revision IPCs follow these updated rules.

Training Updates

TMHP will publish updated training materials on the TMHP Learning Management System (LMS) and the 1915(c) Reference Material web page.
