Provider Manual
In 2011 the CSHCN Services Program Provider Manual became an online document that is updated monthly. It is available on the Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) website as a complete manual or as individual chapters.
Provider Bulletins
Before July 2011, the CSHCN Services Program Provider Bulletin was published four times a year to update the information in the CSHCN Services Program Provider Manual. Now that the provider manual is updated on a regular basis, the bulletin is no longer needed. The TMHP website has an archive of past issues of the CSHCN Services Program Provider Bulletin.
