Summary
The Texas OIG Provider Enrollment Integrity Screenings team is experiencing significant processing delays due to high application volume, with most enrollments now taking 90-120 days instead of the normal timeframe. This affects all new enrollments, re-enrollments, moderate/high-risk revalidations, and certain limited-risk revalidations. Billing teams should anticipate extended delays in provider credential activation and plan accordingly for new provider onboarding.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing and credentialing teams should communicate with new providers and re-enrolling providers in Texas that OIG enrollment screening delays are now 90-120 days (vs. previous normal processing times). Update provider onboarding timelines and set internal tracking for enrollment applications routed to OIG. Notify providers that applications are processed in order received and that OIG is actively working to resolve backlog. Check The OIG and Provider Enrollment portal regularly for status updates. Plan for delayed revenue cycle activation for newly enrolling Texas providers.
