DATE: May 30, 1996 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Agreement #29-764-4 with the State of California Major Risk
Medical Insurance Board
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Milt
Camhi) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard Agreement #29-764-4 and
any subsequent amendments, with the State of California Major Risk Medical
Insurance Board, in an amount not to exceed $42,000 per year, for the period
from July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1998, for the Major Risk Medical Insurance
Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Program is funded through a combination of Contra Costa County Health Plan
(CCHP) subscriber premiums and State of California funding from tobacco tax
monies. Neither CCHP nor the County is at risk for costs of services in the
Major Risk Medical Insurance Program. Each subscriber will. pay 125% of the
usual premium and the State will fund the difference between that and the total
cost of care, up to $42,000 per year.
The California Major Risk Medical Insurance Board requires that this contract
be a confidential document for one year and requires that the fiscal provisions
attachment remains confidential for a period of four years.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On July 19, 1994, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-764-
3, for participation by CCHP in the California Major Risk Medical Insurance
Program during fiscal years 1994-95 and 1995-96.
This State program is designed to provide health insurance to Californians who
are unable to obtain coverage on the open market. Eligible Californians
include those who have been denied individual or small group coverage within
the previous twelve months, those who have been involuntarily terminated from
health insurance coverage for reasons other than non-payment of premiums, and
those who have been requested to pay health insurance premiums higher than the
Major Risk Medical Insurance Program subscriber rate.
Approval of Standard Agreement #29-764-4 will allow CCHP to continue
participating in the Major Risk Medical Insurance Program through June 30,
1998.
