Item 8.01. Other Matters

 

Magellan Health, Inc. (the “Company”), through Magellan Complete Care of Florida (“MCC FL”), currently has a contract with the Agency for Health Care Administration (“AHCA”) as a specialty health plan for individuals with serious mental illness under the Florida Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Managed Medical Assistance (“MMA”) program. This contract extends through December 31, 2018.

 

On October 1, 2015, AHCA released the methodology and rates to be used to provide capitated plans with risk adjusted payments for the MMA program effective September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2016. The Company expects the impact of this methodology will result in approximately a 3% reduction in blended rates for MCC FL as compared to the previous contract year. These lower rates are significantly less than the Company previously anticipated, and will result in approximately $5 million to $10 million of decreased revenue for the four months remaining in 2015.

 

The Company is evaluating the impact of these reduced rates and previously discussed cost of care pressure in its healthcare business on its full year 2015 expected results, and will provide updated guidance during its upcoming earnings conference call on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 at 10 a.m. Eastern.
