Summary
Beginning February 1, 2026, Texas Medicaid providers must submit their revalidation application in PEMS before their due date to qualify for second or third extensions. Providers should start revalidation up to 180 days early to avoid enrollment disruptions.
Action Required
By January 2026: Billing team must identify all provider revalidation due dates in PEMS and create calendar reminders to start revalidation applications 180 days before due dates. Ensure all applications are fully submitted (not in 'Draft' status) before revalidation due dates to maintain eligibility for extensions. Monitor PEMS daily for revalidation status updates and email notifications.
