HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 11031998 - C125 TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONTU C®ST;A COUNTY FROM: William Walker,MD Health Services Director DATE: October 27, 1998 SUBJECT: Solano Partnership Health Plan SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION Recommendation: Authorize the Health Services Director or his designee to enter into negotiations with the Executive Director of the Solano Partnership Health Plan that may result in a partnership between Contra Costa Health Plan and Solana Partnership Health Plan for the County Organized Health System (OOHS)program; the Healthy Families program; and other joint activities. Background: Although federal legislation to expand the number of OOHS in California failed to pass, current federal law permits an existing COHS to partner with other counties as long as the statewide enrollment cap of 10 percent of Medi-Cal eligibles is not exceeded. Thea is precedence in California: Napa County is now part of the Solano OOHS; Monterey County is negotiating with the existing Santa Cruz COHS; and San Luis Obispo County has begun conversations with the Santa Barbara COHS. By partnering with the Solano Health Partnership, CCHP would significantly expand its Medi-Cal enrollment. Additionally, both CCHP and the Solano Health Partnership take part in the Healthy Families program.. Partnering in this program offers the potential for administrative efficiencies and increased scope of marketing. Fiscal Impact: The addition of an additional 20,000 to 25,000 Medi-Cal enrollees in CCHPwill significantly increase capitation revenue.
