New Prior Authorization Resource to Determine Dates of Service

Date: April 3, 2024

Attention: All Providers

Call to action: The purpose of this communication is to inform providers of a new resource available from Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) available at https://www.tmhp.com/topics/prior-authorization/pa-calculator.  It is included on the TMHP prior authorization webpage.

Providers are encouraged to utilize this calculator to calculate the dates of service that must be applied to the prior authorization form/prior authorization request.  By accessing TMHP’s tool, providers will save time and avoid having to resubmit or correct authorizations due to errors in calculating the dates of service for the requested authorization period.

The TMHP prior authorization calculator and other prior Authorization resources from Texas Children’s Health Plan are available here.

Next steps for providers: TCHP would like to remind providers that they can submit Prior Authorizations securely online via Texas Children’s® Link, our online provider portal. Providers are encouraged to submit authorization requests on our portal since this is the most efficient way for our team to process authorizations. To access Texas Children’s® Link, click here.

If you have any questions, please email Provider Relations at: providerrelations@texaschildrens.org.
