    HRMPA was a contractor of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare's Medical Assistance Program. The company provided managed-care services for the HealthChoices Medical Assistance program in five Southeastern Pennsylvania counties under the Oaktree name. Additionally, HRMPA provided services to the voluntary managed-care Medical Assistance program in Central Pennsylvania under the HealthMATE name.

    It is important to note that due to the regulations of the Department of Public Welfare and/or the contract with HRMPA and HMO Law, providers are specifically prohibited from seeking reimbursement directly from patients. Providers may file a proof of claim form with the Statutory Liquidator.

    Due to a combined effort of the Department of Public Welfare and the Insurance Department, the majority of the blocks of business were assumed by different carriers. The new carriers along with their previous related company, effective assumption date and current contact numbers are as follows:

    • HealthMATE assumed by AmeriHealth as of September 1, 2001 and can be contacted at 1-(800)991-7200
    • OakTree assumed by AmeriChoice as of August 1, 2001 and can be contacted at 1-(800)321-4462

    On August 4, 2006 the Commonwealth Court approved the Statutory Liquidators Petition for Distribution and Discharge thereby authorizing the distribution of all assets of HRMPA and discharging the Commissioner as Statutory Liquidator of HRMPA and releasing her from any further liability to pay claims. Accordingly, on August 31, all distribution checks were mailed to claimants in accordance with the Courts August 4 Order.​

    Footnotes:
    1 Priority Classes
    The order of distribution of claims from the insurer's estate is set forth in detail in Article V of the Insurance Department Act of 1921 at 40 P.S. 22144. Briefly the classes are:
    A Administrative expenses
    B Claims for policy benefits
    C Federal government claims
    D Certain employee claims
    E General creditor claims
    F Stateand local government claims
    G Late filed claims
    H Surplus or contribution note claims
    I Shareholder/owner claims.
    2 Priority Class A - Administrative Expenses
    Administrative expenses include both the Guaranty Associations expenses related to administering the claims of the companies in liquidation and the Liquidators expenses. As shown, the Liquidators expenses have been bracketed to indicate they have been paid and the net assets available were reduced by that amount. The net difference in this priority class, if any, represents administrative expenses incurred by the Guaranty Associations .
    3 Estimated Surplus (Deficit)
    Amount reflects June 30, 2006 assets in excess of those available at December 31, 2005. The additional amount of assets were distributed after June 30, 2006 for Liquidator Administrative Expenses and additional Priority E claim payments. The Class E Claim of $25,302,226 was calculated based on the December 31, 2005 court accounting filed with the discharged petition. The actual claim was much larger but the amount shown equals the remaining December 31, 2005 net assets of higher priority claims. Although the Class E Claim amount is shown at $25,302,226 the Court approved discharged petition stipulated that any assets remaining after liquidator administrative expenses were to be paid to the E Claim Level.
