Physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and speech therapy (ST) services are benefits of Texas Medicaid for the medically necessary short term treatment of an acute medical condition or an acute exacerbation of a chronic medical condition for adult clients 21 years of age and older.

Except for emergency services, post-stabilization services, and services provided to you during an approved inpatient admission, all services from an out-of-network provider must be prior authorized. Claims for services from out-of-network providers that are not approved before the service is given may be denied.

The requested clinical should be faxed to Medical Management, using the appropriate fax number for the service for which authorization is requested. Medicaid Prior Authorization Fax Numbers: Physical Health: 1-800-690-7030. Behavioral Health: 866-570-7517.

The patient's health-care plan may play a role in the Referral Decision Process: Medicaid Managed Care requires patients be seen by their PCP for a referral to a specialist. Many private managed-care plans also require patients be seen by their PCP for a specialty referral.
