Texas Children’s® Link, Online Provider Portal Claim Submission Guidance

Date: March 1, 2024
 
Attention: All Providers

Call to action: In response to Optum’s recent Change Healthcare network interruption, Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) would like to provide details on the claim submission methods currently available.

Where can providers submit claims:

The most efficient option is submitting claims and appeals through Texas Children's® Link, our provider portal https://epiccarelink.texaschildrens.org/

  • The batch claim submission process is available on the portal, where 837 files can be uploaded directly onto Texas Children's® Link.
    • To access this from Texas Children's® Link, go to External Sites > TCHP Provider Tools > TCHP Batch Claims
  • If you do not already have a Texas Children's® Link account, you can request an account by visiting https://www.texaschildrenshealthplan.org/providers/link-provider-portal

How to check claim status:

Online claim resources

We have how-to videos to assist with claim submission available in the Texas Children’s® Link portal under the quick links section. The quick links section is located at the bottom of the portal homepage.

When can providers begin submitting claims via the portal:

  • As soon as you have access to Texas Children's® Link.

We understand the disruption this matter has caused to your operations. Please know that TCHP is working diligently to resume operations as quickly as possible for our providers. For any immediate concerns, please contact your Provider Relations Liaison or Account Lead.

If you have any other questions, please email Provider Relations at: providerrelations@texaschildrens.org.
