Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase
Order with McKesson Corporation in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 for the purchase of pharmaceuticals
designated as 340B replenishment inventories dispensed through ten (10) Rite Aid pharmacies and one (1) City
Center pharmacy located within Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Funding is included in the CCHP Enterprise Fund III budget. Participation in the 340B program allows the
Health Plan to maximize savings.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) has entered into the 340B pharmacy program through the Federal Government’s
Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA). CCHP received OPA approval to contract with ten (10) local Rite Aid pharmacies
and one (1) City Center pharmacy in the 340B program. This program supplies prescription medications to CCHP
members at a significantly reduced price structure governed by the OPA.
The $3,000,000 request, for a new two year purchase order, includes an increase due to the Affordable Care Act
Medi-Cal expansion.
