On
November 15, 2019,
Triple-S Salud,
Inc., a Puerto Rico insurance company (“Triple-S”) and managed care subsidiary of Triple-S Management Corporation (the “Company”), amended its contract (the “Amendment”) with the Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration (“ASES,” by its Spanish
acronym) for the offering of health care services for the Medicaid and Child Health Insurance subscribers for the Government of Puerto Rico’s revised Medicaid health insurance program (the “Contract”). The Company announced the entry into the
Contract under Item 1.01 of a Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 27, 2018 and an amendment to the Contract under Item 1.01 of a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 6, 2019 (the “First Amendment Report”).
As disclosed in the First Amendment
Report, on October 31, 2019, Triple-S amended the Contract with ASES, to, among other things, maintain the current per member per month payments made by ASES to Triple-S under the Contract for fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the prior
rating period, which ended on October 31, 2019. This amendment would provide the parties additional time to complete their ongoing
revision of the per member per month payments for the new rating period, which runs from November 1, 2019 until June 30, 2020.
The Amendment revises the per member per month payments made by ASES to Triple-S under the
Contract retroactive to November 1, 2019, for the period which runs from November 1, 2019 until June 30, 2020. Such per member per month payments will vary depending on the particular clinical condition or category of the subscriber as set forth in
the revised Attachment 11 to the Contract included as Exhibit A to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Amendment is
subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment which will be filed with the Company’s next periodic filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
