Texas Works Medicaid to MEPD

Official source

If an active Texas Works Medicaid recipient enters a facility for a long-term stay, TIERS receives the nursing facility admission information from the HHSC webservice interface. TIERS automatically denies the Texas Works Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) and creates a pending ME-Nursing Facility EDG. An H1200 Application for Assistance - Your Texas Benefits must be received before testing for ME-Nursing Facility Medicaid. Disposition of both EDGs must be coordinated. There is no need for retroactive coverage code changes. Vendor payment and medications are authorized through SASO.

If a facility notifies HHSC that an active Texas Work Medicaid recipient has entered the facility, staff should advise the facility that an application is required. Once the application is received, process as any other application and coordinate with Texas Works.
