| Effective Jan. 1, 2025, the MMPs Pilot Program will no longer be available in select service areas. Wellpoint and Superior will end MMP operations on Dec. 31, 2024, only in the following services areas: | Plan Name | Service Area | Plan Code | | Wellpoint Texas, Inc | El Paso MMP | 3G | | Wellpoint Texas, Inc | Bexar MMP | 4F | | Superior Health Plan | Bexar MMP | 4H | | Wellpoint Texas, Inc | Tarrant MMP | 6F | | Wellpoint Texas, Inc | Harris MMP | 7Z | The MMP members received a notice from their managed care organization (MCO) stating that it is no longer participating in the MMP program. The notice provided the members with options to transition their coverage. To determine which option the member chose, program providers and financial management services agencies (FMSAs) can check the member's eligibility using the following: - The EaaS/TIERS-based 270/271 or Medicaid Client Portal supports eligibility inquiry for future dates up to the end of the following month. Providers can use this to check eligibility.
- The C21/SAVERR-based TMC EV and 270/271 eligibility inquiry is limited to access only current month eligibility information.
Program providers, FMSAs, and Proprietary System Operators (PSOs) should create a new authorization if the member's payer information has been received from their new MCOs. Once they receive a new authorization for their members, it must be manually added into their EVV system. If the program provider, FMSA, and PSO do not have the current authorization from the new MCO, they can use the information from the eligibility portals cited above to input in their EVV system. Payment of Services as of Jan. 1, 2025 EVV claims for EVV required services must be submitted to the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP). Program providers and FMSAs using a third-party resource for billing need to notify the third-party entity about any changes in MCO contracts.
