Learn more about the enrollment process for Texas Medicaid as a Grow Therapy provider.

Updated over a month ago

Grow Therapy does not allow providers to bill directly with Medicare or Medicaid. Instead, Grow works with Managed Care plans, which require separate enrollment processes from the state. If you choose to enroll with and see Medicare or Medicaid clients, Grow automatically enrolls you with the Managed Care plans available in your licensed state(s).

Key Takeaways

  • If you are currently credentialed with Texas Medicaid, the Enrollment Team must submit a request to affiliate your enrollment with Grow Therapy before you can accept Texas Medicaid clients.

How long will it be before I'm approved once the application has been submitted?
