Relating to the participation and reimbursement of and requirements affecting certain providers, including providers of eye health care and vision care services, under Medicaid.
This bill requires Texas Medicaid to establish a dedicated support team to help providers (especially eye and vision care services) complete enrollment and credentialing processes, reducing administrative burdens. It mandates 30 days' written notice before disenrolling providers and creates an electronic system for submitting complaints about these processes. The bill also prohibits Medicaid managed care organizations from using separate vision plans for eye care services, requiring these services to be covered under the main Medicaid plan. These changes directly affect Medicaid providers, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and managed care organizations.
