- Supplier standards applicable to your category
- Texas licensure requirements where the service category is state-licensed
- Payer medical policy and prior authorization requirements, which are often stringent for ancillary services

Frequently asked questions
Why was our supplier enrollment rejected?
Common causes are an unmet accreditation or surety bond prerequisite, an incomplete supplier standards attestation, or an unreported ownership or location change. The rejection notice usually names the deficiency, and the response window is short.
Do we need accreditation before we enroll?
For several supplier categories, yes — accreditation is a prerequisite rather than a follow-on. Sequencing this correctly avoids months of delay.
Are ancillary services audited more heavily?
Several ancillary categories carry elevated review, and documentation of medical necessity and delivery is where reviews concentrate.
