Relating to Medicaid provider enrollment and credentialing processes.

SB 1266 requires Texas' Health and Human Services Commission to provide a dedicated support team to assist Medicaid providers with enrollment and credentialing through an online portal, aiming to reduce administrative burdens. The bill mandates annual evaluation of this support team's performance, with public reporting of results by September 1 each year. It also creates an electronic process for providers to submit complaints about enrollment processes and requires the Commission to give providers 30 days' notice and an opportunity to fix issues before disenrolling them for incomplete revalidation. These changes, effective September 1, 2025, directly impact Medicaid providers and the Commission's operational procedures.
