SUBJECT: Annual Progress Report for 1988 of the
Contra Costa Health Plan
Stephen Hamil, Chair, Health Maintenance Organization
Advisory Board, presented to the Board the Annual Progress report
for 1988 of the Contra Costa Health Plan. He noted that the
combined Medicare, Medi-Cal and commercial enrollment has grown by
76 percent since December 1985. He also called attention to the
fact that the membership growth has generated total premium revenue
of over $11. 1 million in 1988 reflecting a 63 percent increase in
premium revenue since 1985. Mr. Hamil advised that in 1988 the
County Health Plan required 44 percent less in County support for
premium financed programs than realized in 1985 resulting in a
savings of over $550,000. However, he further advised that greater
needs combined with flat State funding has increased the County' s
support for each Medically Indigent Adult by 47 percent since 1985 .

expressed appreciation to the Board of Supervisors for supporting
the Health Plan and referenced certain suggestions proposed by each
