Introducing Zelis as new Payment Vendor

Date: June 20, 2025

Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) is excited to announce that we are in the process of onboarding a new payment vendor, Zelis. In the coming weeks TCHP will provide further details on the go-live date for the transition.

This change will affect all providers regardless of your payment history with TCHP. It includes both paper and electronic funds transfer payments. Please note, providers can continue receiving their TCHP payments from Zelis in the existing payment format that they prefer. With the new vendor, TCHP will be able to increase claims payments from weekly to bi-weekly.

Next step for Providers: More information on how to prepare and register with Zelis will be available in advance of the start date. Please check here for updates, https://www.texaschildrenshealthplan.org/providers/provider-news/provider-alerts.
