Part 10: Special Provision for Nueces Service Area



Attachment A, Section 10.04 is amended to include sub-part (b) as follows:



Section 10.04(b) added by Version 1.8



(b) In addition to the reasons set forth in Section 10.04(a), the Parties expressly understand and
agree that HHSC may, at any time, unilaterally adjust the Rate Period 2 STAR Program Capitation

Encounter Data for all HMOs in the Nueces Service Area does not support the Capitation Rates; or
(2) economic factors in the Nueces Service Area significantly and measurably impact providers or
the delivery of Covered Services to Members. For adjustments made pursuant to this Section
10.04(b), HHSC will provide written notice at least ten (10) Business Days before: (1) the
effective date of a prospective adjustment; (2) offsetting Capitation Payments to recover
retrospective adjustments. Any adjustments to the Rate Period 2 Capitation Rates must meet the
actuarial soundness requirements of Attachment A, Section 10.03, “Certification of Capitation
