TMHP, New Provider Enrollment Tool
Addressing physician concerns about online Medicaid enrollment challenges, the Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) has announced its new Provider Enrollment Assistant Tool (PEAT) is available for enrollment-related help.
Users can navigate to the help page in TMHP’s provider enrollment section to access the tool, which TMHP describes as “question-based software.” Typing in a question prompts PEAT to provide:
- Answers to revalidation questions, including due dates;
- Online appointment scheduling for personalized support with enrollment issues, including step-by-step guidance from a TMHP representative;
- Information about Provider Enrollment and Management System (PEMS) maintenance requests; and
- Instructions for new enrollments, re-enrollments, and updates to existing enrollments.
Before initiating a PEAT request, TMHP advises having at the ready your National Provider Identifier (NPI), ZIP code, taxonomy number (if applicable), and any contact information related to the NPI.
In addition to a PEAT info sheet accessible online, TMHP is offering walk-through sessions for those needing additional enrollment support, which can be scheduled via PEAT, and offers an online PEMS guide updated in March.
