RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve the list of providers recommended by Contra Costa Health Plan's Peer Review and Credentialing Committee on November 14, 2017 and by the Health Services Director as required by the State Departments of Health Care Services and Managed Health Care, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

The National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) requires that evidence of Board of Supervisors approval must be contained within each Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) provider’s credentials file. Approval of this list of providers as recommended by the CCHP Medical Director will enable the CCHP to comply with this requirement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, CCHP’s providers will not be appropriately credentialed and in compliance with the NCQA.
