Eligibility

The TAHP Credentialing Verification Organization (CVO) is responsible for receiving completed applications, attestations, and primary source verification documents for Medicaid-managed health plans. Community Health Choice must review and approve all providers’ credentials at least once every three years.Community-Health-Choice

After registering, the individual, healthcare network providers, and agents will receive a Username and Password, which they can use to login into the Community Health Choice Website for Marketplace Plans, Medicaid/CHIP Plans, and Providers of Healthcare Benefits. Many Community Health Choice insurance account holders forget their username or password during the Community Health Choice future login period. We have listed the following steps to reset your Community Health Choice login information for this solution to the issue.

Eligibility For Community Health Choice Insurance

To participate in the Community Health Choice (HMO D-SNP), a member must:

  • Eligible for Medicare Part A
  • Registered with Medicare Part B
  • Live in our service area
  • Texas Medicaid Eligible Categories: QMB or QMB Plus.

Because this is dual eligibility, the beneficiary’s benefits are paid first by Medicare and then by Medicaid. Medicaid coverage varies based on income, resources, and other factors. Benefits may include full Medicaid benefits and complete or partial payment of the member’s Medicare copayments (premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments).
