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.
