  • Approvals will be coded with an “A” immediately following the sequence number. This approval file would be named ##_2065_123456789_ABCD_D_2A.doc.

If a member has an ISP which is electronically generated, Form H2065-D is available in the "LETTERS" tab of the TMHP LTC Online Portal when the member's ISP is selected. Form H2065-D is uploaded to TxMedCentral only for individuals without electronic ISPs.

MCOs must check the TMHP LTC Online Portal to check for updates and notifications electronically generated by PSU staff.

Form H2067-MC, Managed Care Programs Communication

Form H2067-MC is uploaded to the SPW folder and should not be uploaded in any other folder. An "M" or "S" is added to the sequence number to indicate whether the MCO or PSU uploaded the form.

This file would be named ##_2067_123456789_ABCD_2S.doc. if uploaded by PSU staff.

Additional to the standardized naming convention for Form H2067-MC, a separate naming convention has been developed to address use of Form H2067-MC for NF residents who request transition to the community under the STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) program. These individuals are considered expedited cases for application to the STAR+PLUS HCBS program. Both the MCO and PSU staff must be able to readily identify communications specific to these cases.

An "M" or "S" continues to be added to the sequence number to denote, respectively, whether the MCO or PSU staff have uploaded the form. The new naming convention for uploading Form H2067-MC, on both member and non-member cases in a NF, is expanded as follows:

Two-Digit Plan IDForm #Member ID, Medicaid # or SSNMember Last Name (first four letters)Section No.Sequence No. of Form
# #2067123456789ABCD1M or 1SMFP

Form H2067-MC file uploaded by the MCO would be named ##_2067_123456789_ABCD_1M_MFP.doc. if uploaded by the MCO staff.

Form H2067-MC file uploaded by the MCO staff would be named ##_2067_123456789_ABCD_1S_MFP.doc. if uploaded by PSU staff.
