Item 8.01.          Other Events

 

On January 19, 2012, Magellan Health Services Inc. (“the Company”) and VHS Phoenix Health Plan, LLC (“Phoenix Health Plan”), a subsidiary of Vanguard Health Systems, announced that they have entered into a joint venture development agreement pursuant to which they will form a joint venture to bring together their behavioral health and medical management capabilities to manage integrated care in a holistic manner to better serve individuals with serious mental illness (“SMI”) in the state of Arizona.

 

The joint venture, to be called Magellan of Arizona, will respond to a request for proposal (“RFP”) that is expected to be released by the state of Arizona in 2012 to manage integrated behavioral and physical health care for recipients with SMI and behavioral healthcare services for other Medicaid beneficiaries in Maricopa County.  The RFP will likely address management services for the population currently served in Maricopa County by the Company under its current contract which is set to expire on September 30, 2013.  There is no assurance that the state of Arizona will issue an RFP or that Magellan of Arizona will ultimately be the successful bidder. The joint venture will be structured with Magellan owning 80 percent of the entity and Phoenix Health Plan owning the other 20 percent.

 

Attached and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the press release dated January 19, 2012.
