Updating Provider Information
Providers must inform the health plan of any changes to their contact information including address, telephone and fax number, group affiliation, etc. It is also important to submit any updates to your panel status such as changing from a closed panel to an open panel as well as any changes to age restrictions. Providers must also ensure that the health plan has current billing information on file to facilitate accurate payment delivery.
Providers may submit demographic changes via our Secure Provider Portal by selecting the Customer Service icon from the homepage and selecting the topic Provider Demographic Changes. Providers pending access approval to the Secure Provider Portal can complete the Provider Information Change Form located below under Provider Forms. Email the completed Provider Information Change form to our Network Development team at cchpnetworkdevelopment@cookchildrens.org.
Providers must also communicate changes to Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP). The Provider Enrollment Management System (PEMS) User Guide provides guidance on submitting demographic updates to TMHP.
