ADOPT Position Resolution No.21421 to add one (1) full-time Registered Nurse-Experienced Level (VWXD)
position ($7,197-$8,022) and cancel vacant Utilization Review Coordinator (VWSD) position #12531
($7,122-$8,657) in the Contra Costa Health Plan division of the Health Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no additional cost associated with this action. There will be a cost savings of $12,229 annually with this
action.
BACKGROUND:
The Utilization Management Unit of the Contra Costa Health Plan currently has a per-diem Registered Nurse working
full-time. The unit does not anticipate the current workload decreasing in the future. As reported in the last UM report
to QC, the unit has experienced a significant increase in authorization requests which has more than doubled over the
past year. The UM review process is becoming more stringent.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved and without additional staff, the Utilization Management unit will not be able to meet
mandated requirements of the Health Plan.
