On Friday , Sep 2nd our Association is officially meeting with House HHSC Committee Chair Richard Pena Raymond, Dist 42 and HHSC Commissioner Tom Suehs and his staff. Purpose: to present our official request for a 30 day Pre Trial/Pilot Component prior to March 1, 2012.
The 10 county Hidalgo Service Area will come live on March 1st, 2012 in the expansion of the Star+Plus Program. With it comes a transition of services to a managed care organization (MCO) health care system. This "rollout" is the largest in the State. Several thousand local healthcare providers and ten of thousands of elegible medicaid population groups will be impacted by this rollout.
The Texas Healthcare Advocacy Association will provide some proposed changes to the timelines and thus provide for a more efficient, smooth, and cost-savings implementaion.
We will keep you updated on our request at our website; www.texashaa.org
Thanks to over 100 agencies who provided a letter of support. Collectively these agencies provide healthcare services to over 17,100 patients/clients in the Hidalgo Service Area.
