PEMS Update:
HHSC and TMHP have been working on changes to the Provider Enrollment and Management System (PEMS) process in conjunction with a workgroup comprised of external stakeholders which cross all Medicaid programs subject to this federal requirement. Though not all changes can be made at once, HHSC will soon begin making incremental changes.
HHSC/TMHP will test changes with volunteer representatives before initiating permanent changes.
April 15th, 2025
Beginning May 30, the Provider Enrollment and Management System (PEMS) will be enhanced to streamline the process for Texas Medicaid enrollment, managed care organization (MCO) and dental maintenance organization (DMO) credentialing.
PEMS will feature a new Credentialing Tab for the credentialing application that will allow providers to complete and submit their credentialing information as part of the enrollment process, the reenrollment process, or as a maintenance request.
For more information, refer to Coming Soon: PEMS to Be Updated to Allow Provider Credentialing on TMHP’s Provider Enrollment webpage.
