Payers


The payers listed below require Special Enrollment, and are not immediately available to providers. Special Enrollment involves submitting information and/or paperwork via email, fax or online and is the only way providers can enroll to use eligibility EDI services for these payers. Please be advised that special enrollment is a process that is separate from a provider registering their NPI with the payer (see ‘Note about your NPI’ below). Contact and mailing information for enrollment submission is located at the bottom of the Special Enrollment section.
 
A note about NPI: Register Your NPI with your health plans. Providers must ensure they have correctly registered their Group Level NPI (National Provider Identifier) with any applicable health plans. TransUnion Healthcare is not responsible for registering individual NPI numbers or verifying the accuracy of the NPI registered for a given provider.
 
BCBS Plans: Enrollment through any BCBS plan outside of your provider’s state will not be required as the enrollment will likely reject. All providers should submit through the local BCBS plan for their state as the Blue Exchange network allows transactions for out-of-state members to route to the appropriate destination.

Texas Medicaid - Long Term Care

Texas Medicaid – Long Term Care

Texas Medicaid - Long Term Care requires a three-step enrollment process for EDI transactions. If the provider has completed any of the earlier steps, they may simply skip to the next relevant step.

Step 1 (Contracting with Texas Medicaid - Long Term Care):

Providers must be contracted with this payer before submitting an enrollment. To contract with Texas Medicaid - Long Term Care, providers can visit the DADS website at: http://www.dads.state.tx.us/providers/. Providers can also contact DADS Provider Enrollment at Texas.Medicaid.Enrollment@dads.state.tx.us. Once DADS processes the contract application, the provider will be given a “Contract Number”.

Step 2 (Completing the EDI Agreement):

The provider is required to submit an EDI Agreement form to Texas Medicaid. Providers with a valid Contract Number that have not completed the EDI agreement form must do so by completing the following Electronic Data Interchange Agreement for Long Term Care Providers: Texas Medicaid EDI Trading Partner Agreement.  Once completed, the form must be mail it to TMHP at the following address:

Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership

Attention: EDI Help Desk, MC–B14

PO Box 204270

Austin, TX 78720-4270

Step 3 (Completing the Submitter ID Linking Form):

Providers with a valid Contract Number will then need to fill out a Submitter ID linking form: TX Medicaid Submitter ID Linking Form. The provider will need to fill out all sections on this form.

Section I. Provider Number field must contain the providers “Contract Number” not the provider’s NPI.

Section II, Submitter ID: is 146215201 and “I want to link this Submitter ID and Provider Number” box should be checked

*Please note, the Submitter ID Linking form is annexed to the EDI Agreement and can, therefore, be submitted to the payer concurrently with the EDI Agreement if the provider has not completed step 2.

If the provider has any questions/issues about any of the steps during this enrollment process, they can get help directly from Texas Medicaid EDI by calling The TMHP EDI Helpdesk at 1-888-863-3638 option 4.

 

 Up to 2 months for new providers & 30 days providers completing step 3 only.
