Common questions
- How do I verify a healthcare license in Texas?
- Verify with the Texas board that issued the license. This directory lists 13 Texas licensing lookups, including Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council, Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and Texas Board of Dental Examiners. Pick the board for the provider's profession; each entry links to the board's own verification page.
- Does Texas publish a Medicaid exclusion list?
- Yes. Texas Medicaid Exclusion List is the state list. Check it alongside the federal OIG LEIE and SAM.gov, since state exclusions are not always reflected in the federal lists.
- Does Texas require a separate controlled substance registration?
- This directory does not list a separate Texas controlled substance registration lookup. Prescribers there operate under the federal DEA registration; confirm current requirements with the state board of pharmacy.
- Where do providers enroll in Texas Medicaid?
- Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership is the state's provider enrollment portal. Medicaid enrollment is separate from commercial payer enrollment and from Medicare enrollment through PECOS.
