Providers should monitor the Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) Provider Portal regularly for alerts and updates associated to the COVID-19 event. TCHP reserves the right to update and/or change this information without prior notice due to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 event.
Call to action: The March 2022 Biannual Specialty Drug List is now available from the Vendor Drug Program Website.
How this impacts providers: A drug must meet all four of the rule criteria to be considered for inclusion on the HHSC specialty drug list (SDL).
