Common use of Special Temporary STAR Default Process Clause in Contracts

Special Temporary STAR Default Process. (a) STAR HMOs that did not contract with HHSC prior to the Effective Date of the Contract to provide Medicaid Health Care Services will be assigned a limited number of Medicaid-eligibles, who have not actively made a STAR HMO choice, for a finite period. The number will vary by Service Area as set forth below. To the extent possible, the special default assignment will be based on each eligible’s prior history with a PCP and geographic proximity to a PCP.
