Act
by Aug 31, 2026
Effective date
Sep 1, 2026
Identified
Jul 28, 2026
Summary
Effective September 1, 2026, Texas Medicaid (TMHP) is removing bundling restrictions that previously prohibited billing hearing aid procedure codes 92628 and 92631 on the same day as other hearing aid codes. Billing teams can now submit claims with these codes billed together with specified companion codes (92628 with 92631/92632, and 92631 with 92628/92629). This change requires immediate updates to billing system edits and claim submission protocols to avoid unnecessary denials.
