System Failure at Texas Medicaid Claims Processor

All communications down at TMHP until further notice, claims processing unavailable 

The processing of Medicaid claims ground to a halt today because of a computer problem. According to a spokesperson for the state’s contracted claims administrator, Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership, technicians noticed a problem and decided to shut everything down to protect the integrity of the system.

The spokesperson said the nature of the problem is not known and it is unlikely that the system will be repaired before 5 p.m. today. She didn’t know whether technicians expected to have the system operational by tomorrow.

A message on the TMHP Web site, www.tmhp.com, reads: “TMHP is experiencing technical difficulties at this time. Claims processing and related applications and the TMHP Contact Center are currently unavailable. Please continue to check TMHP.com for periodic updates.”
