Electronic Submission Process for TMHP EDI Transactions to Be Updated August 1, 2026

Last updated on

An update to the electronic submission process for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions is scheduled for August 1, 2026.

As part of this transition, a new connectivity method will be introduced that will affect batch submitters who currently connect using a virtual private network (VPN). The new supported EDI connectivity method will be Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). The Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) has revised the EDI Connectivity Guide on tmhp.com to reflect this EDI update. 

Trading partner testing will be available beginning May 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026. During this time, batch submitters must verify successful connectivity and migrate to the new SFTP method. VPN access will be turned off on August 1, 2026.

Additionally, managed care organizations (MCOs) are requested to verify that batch file transmissions to TMHP remain in place after the transition, allowing any concerns to be addressed before the cutover. Please be sure to complete your testing before then to avoid any interruption in exchanging EDI transactions. This only affects MCOs that currently process batch claims and/or eligibility requests through EDI and WILL NOT affect MCOHub.

For questions about trading partner testing, submitters can contact ediconnectivitysupport@tmhp.com. Check tmhp.com regularly for further updates.

For more information, call the TMHP Contact Center at 800-925-9126.
