Item 8.01. Other Matters
On April 3, 2013, Magellan Health Services, Inc. (the “Company”) annouced that it had filed a formal protest regarding the State of Arizona’s decision to award the Regional Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA) in GSA6 (Maricopa County) to another vendor. The RBHA contract is for the management of the publicly funded behavioral health system that delivers mental health, substance abuse and crisis services for approximately 720,000 eligible adults, youth, and children and includes an integrated behavioral and physical health care system for a small number of individuals with Serious Mental Illness.
On April 17, 2013, the Arizona Department of Health Services denied the Company’s protest. The Company intends to file an appeal of the denial of its protest to the Arizona Department of Administration, the agency responsible for considering appeals of procurement protest denials.
The Company’s existing contract to manage behavioral health services began on September 1, 2007, and was previously extended through September 30, 2013.
