Call to action: Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) would like to inform providers of an important update to a provider alert published. The original TMHP Bulletin was published on August 13, 2025, and it contained incorrect information in the Dialysis Services spreadsheet. The original article featured incorrect information in the “Cardiovascular Services, including Cardiography & Echocardiography - Rural Hospital” spreadsheet. The affected spreadsheet has been updated and now features the correct reimbursement information.
How this impacts providers : Effective for dates of service on or after September 1, 2025, the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) will implement the reimbursement rate changes and updates for the procedure codes that were presented at the public rate hearing on May 27, 2025.
