How to Start a Medicare Home Health Agency in Texas
Operating in Texas requires satisfying two distinct authorities: Texas Health and Human Services (HHSC) for your HCSSA license, and the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for billing privileges.
Phase 1: Texas HCSSA (LHHS) License
Before applying for Medicare, you must secure your Licensed Home Health Services (LHHS) category. My Care Consult provides compliance-safe documentation and survey-readiness support to meet Texas HHSC standards.
Phase 2: CMS/PECOS Enrollment
To become a Texas Medicare certified home health agency, you must clear the PECOS enrollment process. We assist with the CMS 855A application, ensuring your entity structure and ownership data align perfectly with federal requirements.
