8.6 PCCM
8.6.1 Overview
PCCM is not an HMO. PCCM is a service delivery model under the Texas Medicaid managed care program and is administered by TMHP. PCCM is a network of primary care providers and hospitals under contract with HHSC. PCCM primary care providers and hospitals contract directly with HHSC. PCCM clients select or are assigned a primary care provider from among those who have contracted with HHSC. PCCM was originally implemented as one of the health-care delivery options available under the STAR Program, but is no longer part of the STAR Program.
PCCM is available in the following counties:
The Southeast Region (Chambers, Hardin, Jefferson, Liberty, and Orange Counties) previously was part of the STAR Program. Culberson, Hudspeth, and Blanco Counties, previously STAR HMO counties, changed to PCCM-only counties on September 1, 2005.
