2. Entity Type Selection

Please select the entity type you will be enrolling as (click on each option below for a description of each entity type):

Select this type of enrollment if the licensure or certification applies to an entity. Although individuals working for or with the entity may be licensed or certified in their individual capacity, the enrollment is based on the licensure or certification of the entity or the supervising licensed practitioner who is assuming responsibility for the facility's operation. For this reason, facility enrollment does not require enrollment of performing providers.

Select Group if your entity consists of one or more individual health-care providers who render services to clients. Groups enroll using the names and federal tax identification numbers of their legal entities. Group enrollments must include at least one associated performing provider.

To continue with this option, click here.

Select Performing Provider if you are an individual health-care provider who is licensed or certified in Texas and uses a group federal tax identification number. Services that are rendered by performing providers are reimbursed to their associated group.

An individual is defined as a health-care provider who is licensed or certified in Texas and enrolls using their own name and Social Security Number.
