0 Comments

 
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is preparing to roll out its new provider and enrollment system. With the help of associating and switching some processes and systems, the new Provider Management and Enrollment System (PMES) will reduce administrative burden for providers.

The following processes and systems will be consolidated into the PMES system:
  • Manual enrollment processes
  • Texas Medicaid Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) systems
  • Long Term Care
  • Vendor drug program
  • HHSC long term services and supports
  • Medical transportation program

PMES Rollout Timetable and Feedback Opportunity:
Throughout 2019, the HHSC will be preparing for a March 2020 implementation of the new system:
  • May: Provider collaboration and feedback opportunities
  • October: User testing
  • November: User training
  • By March 2020: Fully operational
Providers are encouraged to submit feedback about their needs through the implementation period at this link:  “CLICK HERE”

Benefits of New PMES System for Providers
  • Single system to manage information even for providers with different lines of business. Easier to update information and renew enrollment.
  • Online “smart” application – providers apply for multiple programs once. Only relevant fields that must be completed will be shown.
  • Timeline reduced for enrollment and re-validation. Real-time workflows and electronic validations will reduce submission processing cycles. PMES will issue status alerts and automatic reminders.
