revenues over allowable expenses) as set forth in
Appendix D. The CONTRACTOR’s calculations are
subject to HHSC’s approval, and HHSC reserves the
right to have an independent audit performed to
verify the information provided by CONTRACTOR.

	Over 10% - 15%

	 	 	0	%	 	 	100	%

     Losses incurred in the
1st Experience Rebate
Period may be carried forward to the 2nd and/or 3rd
Experience Rate Periods for the same service area as
an offset to Net Income Before Taxes in order to
reduce any Experience Rebate to HHSC.

     Losses incurred in
the 2nd Experience Rebate
Period may be carried forward to the 3’d Experience
Rate Period for the same service area as an offset
to Net Income Before Taxes.

     Losses incurred in the
Experience Rebate
Periods subsequent to the 2nd Experience Rebate
Period can only be carried forward as an offset to
Net Income Before Taxes in the next’ Experience
Rebate Period.

     The CONTRACTOR shall
calculate the experience
rebate for each period by applying the experience
rebate formula as follows:

     For the 1st
and 2nd Experience Rebate Periods,
to the Net Income Before Taxes for each CHIP service
area contracted between HHSC and CONTRACTOR.
CONTRACTOR losses in one CHIP service area cannot be
used to offset Net Income Before Taxes in another
CHIP service area.

     For the 3rd
and 4th Experience Rebate Periods,
to the sum of the Net Income Before Taxes for all
CHIP, STAR Medicaid, and STAR+PLUS Medicaid service
areas contracted between HHSC and CONTRACTOR.

     Experience rebate will be
based on a pre-tax
basis. Expenses for value-added services are
excluded from the determination of Net

Page 3 of 8

 

     Income Before Taxes
reported in the Annual CFS
Report; however, CONTRACTOR may subtract from Net
Income Before Taxes the expenses incurred for value
added services for the experience rebate
calculations.

     There will be two
settlements for payment(s) of
the experience rebate for each Experience Rebate
Period. Settlement payments are payable to HHSC. The
first settlement shall equal 100% of the experience
rebate as derived from, Net Income Before Taxes, for
All Groups Combined reduced by any value added
services expenses in the Annual CFS Report and shall
be paid on the same day that the first Annual CFS
Report is submitted to HHSC. The second settlement
shall be an adjustment to the first settlement and
shall be paid on the same day that the second Annual
CFS Report is submitted to HHSC if the adjustment is
a payment from CONTRACTOR to HHSC. If the adjustment
is a payment from HHSC to CONTRACTOR, HHSC shall pay
such adjustment to CONTRACTOR within thirty (30)
days of receipt of the second Annual CFS Report.
HHSC or its agent may audit the CFS Reports. If HHSC
determines that corrections to the CFS Reports are
required based on an audit of other documentation
acceptable to HHSC, to determine an adjustment to
the amount of the second settlement, then final
adjustment shall be made within three (3) years from
the date that CONTRACTOR submits the second Annual
CFS Report. CONTRACTOR must pay the first and second
settlements on the due dates for the first and
second Annual CFS Reports, respectively, as
identified in section 17.02. HHSC may adjust the
experience rebate if HHSC determines that CONTRACTOR
has paid (an) affiliate(s) amounts for goods or
services that are higher than the fair market value
of the goods and services in the service area. Fair
market value may be based on the amount CONTRACTOR
pays (a) non-affiliate(s) or the amount another
health maintenance organization pays for the same or
similar goods and services in the service area. HHSC
has final authority in auditing and determining the
amount of the experience rebate.”

(c) Article 10 of the Agreement is modified by adding new Section
10.12, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Chemical Dependency
Benefits-Transition Period, as follows:

     “Section 10.12 Mental Health, Substance Abuse,
Chemical Dependency Benefits-Transition Period

     (a) For covered Mental

will reimburse CONTRACTOR
according to the terms contained in Exhibit B of
Amendment 11 to HHSC contract number 529-00-139.

     (c) HHSC will reimburse
CONTRACTOR for
reasonable expenses associated with re-writing,
printing, and mailing new provider manual template
letters, identification cards, and member handbook
template letters that result from the implementation

invoices for these services by July 1, 2004. HHSC
has 30 days from the date of receipt of invoices
submitted pursuant to this provision to pay
CONTRACTOR, unless HHSC determines that an audit is
necessary, in which case payment may be delayed
pending the outcome of the audit. CONTRACTOR must
incorporate new benefits and changes resulting from
implementation of Mental Health, Substance Abuse,
and Chemical Dependency benefits into CONTRACTOR’s
provider directory, member handbook, and provider
manual by May 31, 2004.

     (d) All payments made by
CONTRACTOR pursuant to
this Section are subject to audit by HHSC. HHSC’s
reimbursement of any CONTRACTOR claims submitted
under this Section may be delayed pending an audit
or a review by the HHSC Office of Inspector General.

     (e) HHSC’s and
CONTRACTOR’s liability for
payment under this Section terminates on August 31,
2004.”

Section 2.05 Modification to Appendix C, CHIP

to the Request for Proposals for

Section 2.06 Modifications to Article 12, Scope

(a) Section 12.05 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety
and replaced with
the following:

     “Section 12.05 Case Management Services for Children
with
Special Health Care Needs

     (a) CONTRACTOR must
report to HHSC for approval
the method and data sources it uses to identify and
track CSHCN on an ongoing basis.

     (b) A child, a
child’s family, a health care
provider, the CHIP Administrative Services
Contractor, or CONTRACTOR may identify a CSHCN with
a potential need for enhanced case management.
CONTRACTOR must contact the family of a child
identified as potentially needing enhanced case
management within 20 days. The purpose of the
contact is to initiate outreach to identify families
wanting enhanced case management and/or other
CONTRACTOR services as available (such as disease
management programs). Outreach methods can include
HHSC-approved surveys, needs assessments, or other
methods. CONTRACTOR can contact families through
telephone

Page 5 of 8

 

or mail, and must follow
up within 30 days with
families not responding to initial contact
Documentation on outreach activities must be available
to HHSC upon request. Documentation must include the
following:

     (1) Number and percent of
members contacted;

     (2) Number and percent
responding to contact;

     (3) Number and percent
completing outreach tool;

     (4) Number and percent

     (c) CONTRACTOR must
provide the following enhanced
case management services, as appropriate, if the family
wants the services:

     (1) Outreach and
Informing

     CONTRACTOR must discuss
covered services, including
specialty services: the family’s right to select a specialist as
a primary care provider (PCP); out-of-network services
applicable to the child’s condition, if not available within
network: the availability of enhanced care coordination: and
community referrals.

     (2) Enhanced Care
Coordination

     CSHCN, their families, or
their health providers
may request enhanced care coordination from
CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR must furnish a care coordinator
when requested. CONTRACTOR may also recommend to the
CSHCN’s family that a care coordinator be furnished if
CONTRACTOR determines that care coordination would
benefit the child. Care coordinators are responsible
for working with CSHCN, their families, and their
health care providers to develop a seamless package of
care in which primary, acute, and specialty service
needs are met through a single plan that is
understandable to the family. If the family agrees, a
written plan of care must be developed and updated at
least annually. The care coordinator will coordinate
all services with the PCP and, as necessary, with the
child’s pediatric specialty care physician. The care
coordinator also makes referrals for other community
services.

     (3) Community
Referrals

     CONTRACTOR must make a
best effort to implement a
systematic process to enlist the involvement of
community organizations that may not be providing
CHIP-covered services but are otherwise important to
the health and well being of Members. CONTRACTOR also
must make a best effort to establish relationships
with these community organizations in order to make
referrals for CSHCN and other children who need
community services. These organizations may include,
but are not limited to:

     (A) Early Childhood
Intervention Program (512/424-6745);

     (B) Department of Mental
Health and Mental
Retardation (MHMR) (512/206-4830);

organizations and consumer and advocacy groups, such
as United Cerebral Palsy, that also work on behalf
of the CSHCN population.

	 	(b)	 	Section 12.07, In-patient Psychiatric, is deleted in its entirety and
replaced as follows:

     “Section 12.07 Court-ordered Commitments

     (a) CONTRACTOR shall
provide inpatient and
outpatient psychiatric services to Members who have
been ordered to receive the services by a court of
competent jurisdiction under the provisions of
Chapter 573 and 574 of the Texas Health and Safety
Code, relating to court-ordered commitments to
psychiatric facilities, or placements as a Condition
of Probation as authorized by the Texas Family Code.

     (b) CONTRACTOR shall not
deny, reduce or
controvert the medical necessity of any
court-ordered inpatient or outpatient psychiatric
service. Any modification or termination of
services must be presented to the court with
jurisdiction over the matter for determination.”
