Referral History:

On December 13, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors sub-committee.

The Managed Care Commission (MCC) was established in May 1995 and replaced the Contra Costa Health Plan Advisory Board and the Medi-Cal Advisory Planning Commission. The purpose of the Commission is to make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors, Health Services Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) on operational objectives, policies and procedures as well as revised service, product development, marketing, and data-gathering priorities. Additionally, the MCC assures effectiveness, quality, efficiency, access, acceptability of CCHP services by ongoing as well as periodic formal reviews of Management Information System data.

The Managed Care Commissions consists of 15 seats: 9 At-Large, 4 subscriber, and 2 provider seats. Each seat has a fixed 3 year term. Currently, there are: 6 filled seats, 3 expired appointments pending reappointment, 3 expired appointments pending recommendation for reappointment at a later date; and 3 vacant seats without pending candidates.
