Common use of Enrollment for infants born to pregnant women in STAR+PLUS Clause in Contracts

Enrollment for infants born to pregnant women in STAR+PLUS. If a newborn is born to a Medicaid-eligible mother enrolled in a STAR+PLUS MCO, the HHSC Administrative Service Contractor will enroll the newborn into that MCO’s STAR MCO product, if one (1) exists. All rules related to STAR newborn enrollment will apply to the newborn. If the STAR+PLUS MCO does not have a STAR product but the newborn is eligible for STAR, the newborn will be enrolled in traditional Fee-for-Service Medicaid, and given the opportunity to select a STAR MCO.
