Texas Medicaid/CHIP Vendor Drug Program
Pharmacy Claims Billing Request
About
The Pharmacy Claims Billing Request (Form 3700) is the only acceptable method to submit paper claims to the
Medicaid/CHIP Vendor Drug Program. Paper submission is only allowed for certain state-approved situations (e.g.
natural disasters) as defined in the Texas Pharmacy Provider Procedure Manual.
All other types of paper forms, and Billing Request Forms submitted for unapproved reasons, are not accepted and will be
returned with no action taken. The reason for the claim submittal or adjustment must be stated on the face of the form
before the claim will be processed.
Form 3700 is kept for five years after the end of the federal fiscal year in which the provider sends the form.
