Provider Enrollment

Enrolling in Texas Medicaid is a prerequisite for enrolling in other state health-care programs. By becoming a provider for Texas Medicaid and other state health-care programs, each provider has the opportunity to improve the health and well-being of Texans in their community.


The Texas Medicaid Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) is HHSC’s provider enrollment administrator and serves as the authoritative source for HHSC Providers’ enrollment and demographic information.

You can update your enrollment and demographic information with TMHP. Once you update your enrollment and demographic information with TMHP, your data will be reconciled with the demographic information on file with the MCOs.
