7.5 PCCM
7.5.1 Overview
PCCM is a service delivery model under the Texas Medicaid Managed Care Program and is administered by TMHP. It is not an HMO. 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.
