About Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership
Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) is a consortium of contractors that administers Texas Medicaid and other state health care programs on behalf of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Based in Austin, Texas, TMHP handles fee-for-service claims processing, provider enrollment, and eligibility verification, among other administrative functions. Because TMHP processes Medicaid claims and program data, it routinely handles sensitive personal, financial, and medical information belonging to program participants.
What Happened?
Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership was listed in a Texas Attorney General data security breach report (record ID: BR-0005127), published on June 22nd, 2026. The breach took place over a period spanning February 5th, 2026, through March 26th, 2026, and was discovered on April 20th, 2026. A total of 2,045 individuals were affected. The compromised information included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government-issued ID numbers, financial account information, medical information, health insurance information, and dates of birth. Affected individuals were notified by U.S. Mail, publication in print media, and posting on the company website. No specific attack vector or threat actor has been publicly identified in connection with this incident.
TMHP has prior breach history worth noting. In December 2020, a TMHP vendor, Datalogic Software Inc., suffered a malware-related incident that exposed the protected health information of approximately 7,200 individuals. More recently, Conduent Business Services LLC—which holds a TMHP claims processing contract—experienced a separate major breach between October 2024 and January 2025 that exposed the protected health information of approximately 4 million Texans, including Texas Medicaid recipients; the Texas Attorney General launched an investigation into that breach in February 2026. This current filing (BR-0005127) is a distinct incident affecting 2,045 individuals and should not be confused with the larger Conduent breach.
