STAR+PLUS delayed

The feds have not yet approved Texas' waiver application to extend STAR+PLUS coverage to the rest of the state, so plans to roll the program out in Travis, Bexar, Nueces service areas by January 1, 2007, have been put on hold. The Harris County STAR+PLUS program will continue uninterrupted, and eligible clients in other parts of the state will continue to be served by Medicaid.
