Summary

Texas HHSC has updated operational procedures for Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) enrollment submissions effective August 17, 2026. DBMD providers will now be able to submit multiple pre-assessments independently from enrollment submissions, streamlining the enrollment process.

Action Required

Before Aug 17, 2026
Before August 17, 2026: Verify whether your practice serves DBMD populations in Texas. If applicable, contact HHSC at (512) 438-2484 to clarify the new pre-assessment submission procedures and determine if enrollment workflow changes are needed in your billing or administrative systems. No immediate action required for practices that do not specialize in or serve DBMD populations.
