The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued a letter updating the status of the Texas Unified License Information Portal (TULIP) Credentialing System for Nursing Facility Administrators (NFA). The system was supposed to be implemented on February 28, 2022, but has faced ongoing barriers and limited functionality. Due to these issues, HHSC is extending a grace period for all NFA licenses active on February 11, 2022, to be considered active until 60 days after the full implementation of the new system. HHSC will notify when the system is fully functional. This grace period will allow NFAs to submit renewals and associated documents through the new credentialing system. For any TULIP issues or questions, contact information for the TULIP Support help desk and the Licensing and Credentialing Section has been provided in the letter.
