As mandated by Texas House Bill 4, 87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) implemented changes to the permanent delivery of some of the behavioral health Medicaid benefits by synchronous audiovisual or synchronous telephone (audio-only) technology, effective September 1, 2022. To help educate and inform providers of these changes, HHSC has created valuable resources to reference and review.
Recent updates and resources:
- HHSC created an educated video that is posted on the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership’s(TMHP’s) YouTube channel and the TMHP Learning Management System (LMS).
- HHSC also created two infographics outlining the changes that are posted to the TMHP LMS.
- Please note: Providers must have a username and password to access training in the TMHP LMS. To get a username and password, providers must create an account by completing the TMHP LMS New User Registration Form on the TMHP LMS.
