County
SUBJECT: CONTRA COSTA HEALTH PLAN—PLAN B
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. AUTHORIZE Contra Costa Health Plan to offer to County employees an additional benefit package (Plan B)
during the upcoming open enrollment period with an effective enrollment date of January 1, 1998.
B. APPROVE a County contribution to Contra Costa Health Plan's Plan B offering that is the same as the amount
the County contributes toward CCHP's existing Plan A
BACKGROUND:
Each year since 1986 the Board of Supervisors has approved offering Contra Costa Health Plan to County employees
as one of the health care options. That plan (Plan A) allowed County employees to join CCHP and use the Health
Service Department's hospital and health centers for primary care services and most specialty services. The County
currently contributes 98% toward the premium cost for Plan A while the employee contributes the remaining 2%.
By approving this request the Board will authorize a second CCHP offering (Plan B) that will allow enrolled members
to use Contra Costa Region Medical Center and the Contra Costa Health System or choose primary care and specialty
providers from CCHP's Community Provider Network. The community provider panel was developed as part of the
Local Initiative for Medi-Cal Managed Care and includes ancillary and hospital services.The request is that the County
contribute the same amount toward the Plan B premium that is currently contributed to Plan A. Inasmuch as the total
Plan B premium is approximately 10% more than that of the Plan A, the County's contribution rate will be
approximately 90% and the employee's contribution rate approximately 10%.
If approved, Plan B, along with Plan A, will be offered to County employees during the upcoming open enrollment
period and membership will be effective January 1, 1998.
