Effective May 1, 2001, PacifiCare Health Plans, enrollment code CY, in the State of California, will no longer contract with Matrix IPA and St. Agnes Hospital.

We are authorizing an opportunity for certain PacifiCare of California enrollees in code CY, to change their enrollment to another participating plan. Only enrollees who live or work in the following counties are eligible to change: Fresno, Kings, Madera, and Mariposa.

The opportunity to change enrollment will begin immediately and continue through May 11, 2001. The effective date of all enrollment changes will be the first day of the pay period following the one in which an enrollee makes the change, but no later than May 20, 2001. Enrollees who do not change plans must contact PacifiCare Health Plans to request a change in Primary Care Physicians.

Please note that the Plan will send notices to affected enrollees. We have attached a copy of that notice for your information.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Abby L. Block, Chief Insurance Policy    and Information Division
