Overview of Upcoming LTC Online Portal Enhancements for HCS and TxHmL Waiver Programs
On December 12, 2022, the Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership will implement several enhancements to the TMHP Long-Term Care Online Portal. After the enhancements are implemented, existing information and training materials will be updated. Read full alert.
-IPC Forms
-Termination Forms
-Pre-Enrollment Forms
-Individual Movement (IMT) Local Authority (LA) Reassignment Forms
-Provider Location Update (PLU) Forms
Other System and Form Enhancements
The Inactivate and Correct this Form buttons on the 8578 Intellectual Disability/Related Condition (ID/RC) Purpose Code (PC) 2 and Initial Enrollment IPC forms will be available only to HHSC staff.
This will decrease the potential for pre-enrollment and enrollment forms to get out of sync, as well as decreasing unnecessary form inactivations.
Account Preparation and Additional Resources
To prepare for these changes, HCS and TxHmL providers and LIDDAs that do not have an LTCOP account need to create an administrator or user account. Providers and LIDDAs can find instructions for creating an account in the TMHP Account Setup for HCS and TxHmL Waiver Programs Quick Reference Guide (QRG).
Additionally, providers and LIDDAs are encouraged to visit the TMHP 1915(c) Waiver Programs web page for recent news, reference materials, education, and bulletins.
For more information, contact the TMHP LTC Help Desk at 800-626-4117 (select option 1 and then option 7).

LTC Portal Enhancements: Coming Soon!
Beginning in December 2022, several enhancements will be implemented for the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) Long-Term Care (LTC) Online Portal. The enhancements will improve form submission and portal functionality. Information about these upcoming changes will be available in future articles on the TMHP 1915(c) Waiver Programs web page.
Account Preparation and Additional Resources
To prepare for these changes, Home and Community-based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living (TxHmL) providers and local intellectual and developmental disability authorities (LIDDAs) that do not have an LTC Online Portal account need to create an administrator or user account. Providers and LIDDAs can find instructions for creating an account in the TMHP Account Setup for HCS and TxHmL Waiver Programs Quick Reference Guide (QRG), which is available in the TMHP Learning Management System (LMS), and on the TMHP website.
Note: To access the LMS, register for the LMS by clicking the Don’t Have an Account? Sign Up Here button beneath the login field.
(FYI-This includes HCS/TxHmL provider applicants who are going to have their contracts approved soon to begin services. If you haven’t signed up for the LTC Portal yet, please do so!)
Additionally, TMHP encourages providers and LIDDAs to visit the TMHP 1915(c) Waiver Programs web page for recent news, reference materials, education and bulletins.
