DATE CHANGE for Texas Medicaid Enrollment and Billing Webcasts

[Guest guest]

Dear Migrant Health Colleagues,

Please see information below about 3 upcoming webcasts being

presented by the Texas Association of Community Health Centers.

These are specifically aimed at health centers that are not based

in Texas, but who serve Texas migrants. Webcasts are free, but require

advance registration. I encourage you to learn more about the

process for becoming an enrolled Texas Medicaid provider and billing Texas

Medicaid. Please note that the date of the first webcast has

changed.
