                                 2001-24-006-KA3

WHEREAS, the Illinois Department of Public Aid, ("Department") and AMERIGROUP
Illinois, Inc., formerly known as Americaid Illinois, Inc. ("Contractor")
entered into a Contract for Furnishing Health Services by a Health Maintenance

Now THEREFORE, the Contract between the parties as previously amended, is hereby
further amended as follows, effective March 1, 2002:

1.       Section 7.1, Payment Rates, is amended by deleting the language of
         subsection (a) in its entirety, and replacing it with the following:

         7.1     Payment Rates

                 (a)     Except as stated in 7.1(a)(1) and 7.1(a)(2), the
                         Department will pay the Contractor on a Capitation
                         basis, based on the eligibility classification, age and
                         gender categories of the Beneficiary as shown on the
                         applicable tables in Attachment I, a sum equal to the
                         product of the approved Capitation rate and the number
                         of Beneficiaries enrolled in that category as of the
                         first day of that month.

                         1.       An individual who is a MAG Beneficiary of an
                                  MCO under contract with the Department at any
                                  time on or after June 1, 2001, who remains
                                  continuously eligible for Medical Assistance,
                                  and whose eligibility classification is
                                  changed by the Department but who remains an
                                  Eligible Enrollee, shall continue to be
                                  considered a MAG Beneficiary for the purposes
                                  of Capitation.

                         2.       If an individual in a Case is considered a MAG
                                  Beneficiary for purpose of Capitation under
                                  any MCO under contract with the Department,
                                  any other Beneficiary in the Case shall be
                                  considered a MAG Beneficiary for purpose of
                                  Capitation.



All other terms and conditions of the Contract, as previously amended, shall
remain in full force and effect, unchanged except as amended hereby.

SUBJECT:        ILLINOIS CONTRACT AMENDMENT

Attached please find a new contract amendment from the Illinois Department of
Public Aid (IDPA). Please review the overall summary below and the attached
contract amendment to determine the impact to AMERIGROUP and/or our vendors.

OVERALL SUMMARY:

Due to a new policy and systems change at IDPA, some members who were previously
considered MAG were transferred to the MANG category code. MCOs were
subsequently paid the MANG capitation rate for these members. In order to
reverse the inadvertent impact of the change, the attached amendment allows IDPA
to continue to pay the MAG cap rate for those members who were transferred.

It is estimated that 2,300 AMERIGROUP members were affected.

FOLLOW UP REQUIRED:

             Response required back to Regulatory Manager by [date]

Chief Operating Officer
AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc.
4425 Corporation Lane, Suite 100
Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462-3103

Dear Mr. Willie,

The Department issued new policy to ensure Medicaid eligibility is de-linked
from TANF cash assistance. Two policy and system changes made as part of that
delinking had an inadvertent effect on managed care enrollment. These two
policies are:

o  Cases eligible due to continuous eligibility appear on the system as an
   active 94 or 96 case (MANG), instead of a canceled 04 or 06 case (MAG) with
   continuous eligibility; and

o  Cases eligible due to extended medical appear on the system as an active 94
   or 96 case (MANG), instead of a canceled 04 or 06 case (MAG) with extended
   medical.

The impact of this swap in category of assistance for the managed care program
is that a portion of beneficiaries who were previously considered MAG were
transferred to MANG, and the MCO was subsequently paid the MANG capitation rate.
[MCO capitation rates were calculated for the contract not assuming this policy
change and subsequent swap.] While the category of assistance may have changed
for these beneficiaries due to administrative changes by the Department, the
cost of providing services, the medical needs, and the medical utilization by
these Beneficiaries did not change.

The Department estimates the impact of the August 2001 swap to the MCOs to be
approximately 14,200 beneficiaries overall. AMERIGROUP's estimated impact of the
August swap is 2,300 beneficiaries. The exact number will not be known until the
adjustment is made.

In order to reverse this unanticipated impact the Department proposes the
attached contract amendment to continue to pay the capitation rate for
beneficiaries who are swapped from MAG to MANG at the MAG rate. Enclosed please
find four originals of an amendment to the Contract for Furnishing Health
Services between AMERIGROUP Illinois, Inc. and the Department. Please have all
four originals completed and signed, and return them to my attention as soon as
possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (217)
