Texas Medicaid Updates DAHS Enrollment Requirements
Texas Health and Human Services Commission has introduced a new condition on Day Activity and Health Services (DAHS) providers who want to be enrolled in Texas Medicaid. Providers are required to reveal an activities director as a part of their application in the Provider Enrollment and Management System (PEMS).
The activities director will be considered a managing employee or principal. Therefore, this person should be included in the section of the PEMS application that is called Owner/Creditors/Principals.
To avoid delays in the processing of providers, it is recommended that they carefully complete the following steps:
- Request the enrolling entity's activities director to enter.
- Ensure that the person is listed in the section of the Owner /Creditors/ Principals.
- Select the role of Director in the drop-down of Provider Organization.
- Obviously, reveal the duties of the activities director in the Title or Duties field.
PEMS instructional materials would be updated in line with this new requirement. To help, the TMHP Care Help Desk can be reached at 800-626-4117 by the DAHS providers.
