HTW Providers to Recertify in PEMS Starting Nov. 1
Healthy Texas Women (HTW) providers that intend to provide or continue to provide HTW services in program year 2026 (Jan. 1, 2026 through Dec. 31, 2026) must complete the annual recertification process. The recertification period for program year 2026 is from Nov. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2025.
Providers in the HTW program that fail to recertify by allowing it to expire will receive claim denials and will not be reimbursed for HTW services.
HTW providers must also verify or update demographic and account information for each location site. It is extremely important that the information listed in the Find a Doctor search tool available on the HTW website is kept up to date with the most current data for providers that deliver HTW services.
Providers can complete the HTW recertification process using the Provider Enrollment and Management System (PEMS).
Accessing PEMS
Note: If providers select a new certification, they will get a new effective date, which may cause a gap in coverage dates.
For instructions on updating demographic information, visit the PEMS Instructional Site webpage, select Maintenance, select the appropriate answers for your program and provider type on the pages that follow, and then select Maintenance - Practice Location - Demographics.
For more information, call the TMHP Contact Center at 800-925-9126 and select option 5.
