Healthcare (Primary Care)

SB 2093 creates a new expedited process for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) to get approved by Medicaid managed care organizations in Texas. The bill requires FQHCs to meet specific criteria, such as having an existing contract with a Medicaid managed care organization, being Medicaid-enrolled, and submitting required documentation. This process aims to speed up the credentialing timeline for FQHC providers who serve underserved communities. The law directly affects FQHCs, Medicaid managed care organizations, and their enrolled patients seeking timely access to care.
