Senate Bill 1244 amends the Government Code to require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), before awarding a Medicaid managed care contract to a managed care organization (MCO), to evaluate and certify that the MCO is reasonably able to fulfill the terms of the contract. The bill prohibits HHSC from awarding such a contract to an MCO that does not receive this certification and authorizes an MCO to appeal a denial of certification by HHSC.
