Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership Re-enrollment
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced that the previous March 24, 2016 deadline for Medicaid provider re-enrollment is extended to Sept. 25, 2016. Though this extension gives states additional time to ensure providers comply with Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requirements, Texas Medicaid encourages all providers who have not yet submitted a re-enrollment application to begin this process immediately.
To avoid potential disruption in payment, a complete re-enrollment application must be received on or before June 17, 2016 in order to be revalidated by Sept. 24, 2016. Complete applications that are received on or before June 17, 2016, will most likely complete the re-enrollment process by Sept. 24, 2016.
For additional guidance on re-enrollment, please visit TMHP Provider Re-Enrollment web page.
For assistance with the re-enrollment process contact a TMHP provider enrollment representative at 1-800-925-9126, Option 2 or email provider.enrollment.mailbox@tmhp.com.
