Additional Information:
The HHSC Provider Experience Team will focus on ensuring a positive and seamless experience for providers when engaging with HHSC and the Medicaid program, with an initial focus on enrollment and the Provider Enrollment Management System (PEMS) application. PEMS is a tool for providers to enroll, revalidate, re-enroll, or maintain their participation in Texas Medicaid or other state health-care programs. The purpose of the provider enrollment process is to ensure people and organizations who deliver Medicaid services have the appropriate qualifications for the services they deliver, are in good standing with relevant regulatory entities, are legally recognized entities, and have not been disbarred from participation in the program.
The Provider Experience Team will gather feedback through surveys and direct provider feedback for prioritizing system enhancements and identifying useability improvements. This work will continue in systems beyond PEMS in the future as HHSC continues to advance Medicaid technology modernization goals. The goal of the Provider Experience Team is to increase provider satisfaction, build relationships, and encourage long-term provider satisfaction.
