�
SUBJECT: Authorize Executive Director of The Contra Costa ealCounty�
Plan to Execute Group Contracts .
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Authorize the Executive Director , Contra Costa Health Plan to
execute on behalf of the Board , County-approved standard form
group contracts at Board established rates , subject to
subsequent Board ratification , allowing employer groups to
offer Contra Costa Health Plan membership to their eligible
employees .
II FINANCIAL IMPACT :
This change should increase revenue because of a positive
affect on the Health .Plan ' s marketing ability . We do not,
however , have the information necessary to calculate the
revenue increase .
III REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
The Health Plan ' s Executive Director is currently authorized
to execute individual contracts and representative agreements
on behalf of the Board . This authorization will allow
timely execution of standard- form contracts which have
already been approved , as to format and content, by County
Counsel , and makes it possible for the Health Plan ' s sales
staff to give firm effective dates to potential members .
The current request will extend the Executive Director ' s
authority to include group contracts . Timely execution of
group contracts will improve the staff ' s ability to market
the Health Plan .
IV CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION :
The Health Plan must have the ability to tell new contracting
employers when their contracts will be effective . Because
contracts are currently approved and executed by the Board ,
there is often uncertainty about the effective date and delays
in executing contracts after a commitment has been made by
the client. Negative action could , therefore , result in
lost contracts and delayed effective dates of new gr p
contracts .
