New STAR+PLUS Contracts Beginning September 1, 2024

Last updated on

On September 1, 2024, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) will implement new STAR+PLUS contracts in seven managed care organizations (MCOs). Three of the MCOs are new to the STAR+PLUS program. Some service delivery areas (SDAs) will have new STAR+PLUS MCOs serving Medicaid recipients.

Complete information about STAR+PLUS health plans by service area is available on the HHSC web page.

Provider Impact

Providers who want to serve members who are enrolled with an MCO can reach out to the MCO to inquire about becoming contracted and credentialed with the plan. To find the contact details for an MCO, consult MCO Provider Relations Contacts.

Note: Providers who use third-party entities for billing must notify them about any changes in health plan contracts.

Additional information about the transition to the new STAR+PLUS contracts is available on the HHSC web page.
