SUBJECT; Authorize Insurance for Private Members of the
Contra Costa Health Plan
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION :
Approve and authorize Executive Director , Contra Costa Health Plan , to
execute on behalf of the County a contract with Great Republic Life
Insurance Company of Santa Barbara to provide excess liability insurance
for private members of The Contra Costa Health Plan . Term of this
policy year is July 1 , 1987 to June 30 , 1988 .
FINANCIAL IMPACT :
The total annual premium depends upon level of private membership .
Based upon current membership of 2 ,710 , the annual premium would be
$61 ,616 .
BACKGROUND :
Since The Health Plan began as a federally qualified HMO in July of 1980 ,
Contra Costa County has purchased excess liability insurance for the mem-
bers of The Contra Costa Health Plan who are private enrollees . This
includes those County employees and other employees of public agencies
with whom The Health Plan has contracts , as well as private group
enrollments and private individual enrollments .
This policy covers health services provided to these individuals above
a $50 ,000 annual deductible for each individual up to a maximum lifetime
benefit of $2 ,000 ,000 for each individual under certain conditions
delineated in the insurance policy.
Excess liability insurance coverage is a sound precaution as one or two
catastrophic illnesses could exceed the premiums paid for this
insurance .
