All New LTC Providers must Enroll in Texas Medicaid. (So, this means even HCS provider applicants, at least once they are nearing the stage of having their application approved and/or at the latest, prior to receiving their contract/s. Remember, you can’t start providing services and accepting clients to your HCS program until you get your letter with the approved contract/s.
LTC-only Providers Enrolling Through Provider Enrollment and Management System (PEMS)
“A new applicant that wants to obtain a contract to provide Texas Health and Human Services LTC Medicaid services must enroll in Texas Medicaid.”
- Applicants that intend to bill through TMHP for acute care or long-term care only services must enroll through TMHP.
