Under the Healthy Kids Contract, HealthEase and WCFL offer coordinated care plans to eligible beneficiaries of the Florida Healthy Kids Program.  Among other things, the Amendment renews the term of the Healthy Kids Contract for an additional year, through September 30, 2012.  The Amendment also sets forth the capitation rates payable by FHKC to HealthEase and WCFL for the one year term commencing October 1, 2011, which range from $78.52 to $136.75 per member per month based on the member’s county of residence.

The foregoing description does not purport to be a complete description of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Healthy Kids Contract as amended.  The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Healthy Kids Contract and the Amendment, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
