How to Become a Participating Provider

Application Process

  1. Complete the applicable profile form below to request participation in Community’s programs.
  2. If you are currently part of an IPA, please contact them to determine if they currently have an agreement in place with Community. 
  3. If you have any questions, please contact Provider Services at 713.295.2295 or toll-free at 1.888.760.2600.

Credentialing & Recredentialing Process

As a Medicaid managed care organization, Community Health Choice must utilize the Texas Association of Health Plans’ (TAHP’s) contracted Credentialing Verification Organization (CVO) as part of its credentialing and recredentialing process regardless of membership in the TAHP. The CVO is responsible for receiving completed applications, attestations and primary source verification documents.  At least once every three years, Community Health Choice must review and approve the credentials of all participating licensed and unlicensed Providers who participate in the network.

Upon receipt of your signed contract and “Completed” Credentialing file from Verisyi (CVO), the credentialing process can take up to 90 days.

Important: Please ensure that your credentials and information are current to avoid any delays in the credentialing or recredentialing process.

Attendant Compensation Rate Enhancement Program (ACEP)

Attendant Compensation Rate Enhancement Program (ACEP)  

The Attendant Compensation Rate Enhancement program is a voluntary program for HHSC contracted providers delivering community Care Services. Participating providers will receive increased funding to incentivize increased compensation, including increases in wages  and benefits, for attendants.  

Enhanced Program enrollment categories: 

  1. Individualized skills and socialization services (formerly day habilitation) 
  2. Non-Individualized skills and socialization services (formerly non-day habilitation)  
  3. Residential Services 

Note: The next open enrollment period will be on July 1, 2025, thru July 31, 2025. We encourage you to apply at that time, and we will be happy to provide further details when the enrollment window reopens.

Community will tie the attendant compensation rate enhancement rate add-ons to the appropriate fee schedule per participation levels.   

For additional information, please contact Provider Services at 888.760.2600.
