Texas Medicaid providers should prepare now for important changes coming to the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) online portal access system. Beginning July 10, 2026, TMHP will implement additional applications through the TMHP IAMOnline platform, creating a more secure and streamlined experience for providers accessing Medicaid services online.
What Is Changing?
TMHP IAMOnline is becoming the primary access point for many TMHP applications. The platform provides:
Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Password self-service options
Improved security protections for provider accounts
Providers who have not yet activated their TMHP IAMOnline account should do so immediately to avoid disruptions in accessing Medicaid services.
Required Provider Actions
Providers must:
1. Activate Their TMHP IAMOnline Account
Activation emails were sent by TMHP on:
June 8, 2026
June 15, 2026
If you received an activation email, you must:
Log into TMHP IAMOnline
Create a password
Register Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Complete activation within seven days of receiving the email
2. Register Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
All Texas Medicaid providers will be required to use MFA.
Providers will automatically receive:
Email-based MFA
Providers may also choose:
Okta Verify
Google Authenticator
These applications can be downloaded through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

The following TMHP applications will transition during Release 2:

TexMedConnect – Acute Care (AC)
