Performance-Based Capitation Rate Sample Clauses

Performance-Based Capitation Rate. Beginning in State Fiscal Year 2007 of the Contract, HHSC will place each STAR and CHIP HMO at risk for 1% of the Capitation Rate(s). Beginning in State Fiscal Year 2008 of the Contract, HHSC will also place each STAR+PLUS HMO at risk for 1% of the Capitation Rate(s). HHSC retains the right to vary the percentage of the Capitation Rate placed at risk in a given Rate Period.

HHSC will conduct separate accounting for each HMO Program’s at-risk Capitation Rate amount. HHSC will identify no more than 10 at-risk performance indicators for each HMO Program. Some of the performance indicators will be standard across the HMO Programs while others may apply to only one of the HMO Programs. HHSC’s at-risk performance indicators may include periods of data collection, and associated points are detailed in the HHSC Uniform Managed Care Manual. The minimum percentage targets were developed based, in part, on the HHSC HMO Program objective of ensuring access to care and quality of care, past performance of the HHSC HMOs, and performance of Medicaid and CHIP HMOs nationally on HEDIS and CAHPS measures of plan performance. Failure to timely provide HHSC with necessary data related to the calculation of the performance indicators will result in HHSC’s assignment of a zero percent performan...
