6. PURPOSE:

               To revise capitation rates contained in Section B.

7. THE CONTRACT REFERENCED ABOVE IS AMENDED AS FOLLOWS:

   A.         The rates contained in the existing Section B are deleted and
              replaced with the attached revised capitation rates. The purpose
              of this amendment is to adjust the TANF/KC and SSI prospective
              rates. It is the opinion of MERCER and AHCCCS that the net
              capitation rates should not have included the reinsurance
              adjustment stated in the Final Awarded Rate sheet. This adjustment
              was explained in a memo to the CFO's on September 22, 2003. These
              rates have been adjusted and are reflected in the attached
              document.

1.       The KidsCare age cohort includes individuals 14 to 18 years of age,
         while the TANF rate cell includes 14 - 44.

2.       The adjustment is multiplicative, not additive.

3.       The Maternity Delivery Payment does not have a reinsurance component
         built directly into the rate. However, it is indirectly affected by
         choosing a different deductible level because the TANF 14 - 44 female
         rate is applied as an 8-month offset to the Maternity Delivery Payment,
         and the female rate is directly affected by a new reinsurance election.

1.   The KidsCare age cohort includes individuals 14 to 18 years of age, while
     the TANF rate cell includes 14 - 44.

2.   The adjustment is multiplicative, not additive.

3.   The Maternity Delivery Payment does not have a reinsurance component built
     directly into the rate. However, it is indirectly affected by choosing a
     different deductible level because the TANF 14-44 female rate is applied as
     an 8-month offset to the Maternity Delivery Payment, and the female rate is
     directly affected by a new reinsurance election.

1.   The KidsCare age cohort covers individuals 14-18 years of age while the
     TANF rate cell includes 14-44.

2.   The Maternity Delivery Payment does not have a reinsurance component built
     directly into the rate. However, it is indirectly affected by choosing a
     different deductible level because the TANF 14-44 female rate is applied as
     an 8-month offset to the Maternity Delivery Payment, and the female rate
     is directly affected by a new reinsurance election.

1.   The KidsCare age cohort includes individuals 14 to 18 years of age, while
     the TANF rate cell includes 14 - 44.

2.   The adjustment is multiplicative, not additive.

3.   The Maternity Delivery Payment does not have a reinsurance component built
     directly into the rate. However, it is indirectly affected by choosing a
     different deductible level because the TANF 14-44 female rate is applied as
     an 8-month offset to the Maternity Delivery Payment, and the female rate is
     directly affected by a new reinsurance election.

1.       The KidsCare age cohort covers individuals 14 - 18 years of age while
         the TANF rate cell includes 14 - 44.

2.       The Maternity Delivery Payment does not have a reinsurance component
         built directly into the rate. However, it is indirectly affected by
         choosing a different deductible level because the TANF 14-44 female
         rate is applied as an 8-month offset to the Maternity Delivery Payment,
         and the female rate is directly affected by a new reinsurance election.

1.       The KidsCare age cohort includes individuals 14 to 18 years of age,
         while the TANF rate cell includes 14 - 44.

2.       The adjustment is multiplicative, not additive.

3.       The Maternity Delivery Payment does not have a reinsurance component
         built directly into the rate. However, it is indirectly affected by
         choosing a different deductible level because the TANF 14-44 female
         rate is applied as an 8-month offset to the Maternity Delivery Payment,
         and the female rate is directly affected by a new reinsurance election.

1.       The KidsCare age cohort covers individuals 14 - 18 years of age while
         the TANF rate cell includes 14 - 44.

2.       The Maternity Delivery Payment does not have a reinsurance component
         built directly into the rate. However, it is indirectly affected by
         choosing a different deductible level because the TANF 14-44 female
         rate is applied as an 8-month offset to the Maternity Delivery Payment,
         and the female rate is directly affected by a new reinsurance election.
