STAR, CHIP, and CHIP Perinatal Program results will be consolidated, but STAR+PLUS Program results will be calculated on a stand-alone basis. For a given HMO, total incurred administrative expenses, as reported on the FSRs for the HMO’s Service Areas and/or Programs (excluding STAR+PLUS), will be summed, and compared to the total Admin Caps for the HMO’s various Service Areas and Programs (excluding STAR+PLUS). Thus, a STAR, CHIP, or CHIP Perinatal HMO that exceeds its Admin Cap limit in one or more Service Areas or Programs, but does not exceed the Admin Cap in another Service area or Program, may have an offset. Similarly, within STAR+PLUS, HMOs operating in multiple Service Areas will likewise consolidate STAR+PLUS Service Area FSR administrative expense results, and compare that to consolidated STAR+PLUS Admin Caps. The net impact of the Admin Cap across relevant FSRs will be applied to the Experience Rebate calculation.
