TMHP Accepts Hurricane Claims

Keywords: Reimbursement  

Medicaid physicians who treated evacuees from hurricanes Ike or Dolly may be able to get paid through a special Social Services Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The claims are exempt from prior authorization and 95-day filing deadline requirements.

The Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) has detailed filing information [PDF] on its Web site. If you have questions, call the TMHP Contact Center at (800) 925-9126.
