BACKGROUND:

The Managed Care Commission 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:

• Study health care concerns for the Medi-Cal, Medicare, Commercial, and Medically Indigent persons served by the County.
• Assure provider, consumer, and community, as well as gender, ethnic, cultural, and geographically diverse population input to deliberations and decision making.
• Do long-range planning and policy formulation and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors, County Health Services Director and Chief Executive Officer of CCHP/Local Initiative.
• Study and make recommendations to the Chief Executive Officer of CCHP on operational objectives, policies and procedures and recommend changes as well as revised service, product development, marketing, and data-gathering priorities.
• Assure effectiveness, quality (including good outcomes), efficiency, access, acceptability of CCHP services by ongoing as well as periodic formal reviews of information produced by an up-to-date Management Information System and other sources.
• Regularly review the CCHP operational budget and amendments thereto.
• Review, analyze, and advise the Board of Supervisors, Health Services Director, and Chief Executive Officer of CCHP of the overall progress, constraining, or threatening needs and special problems of CCHP.
• Encourage public understanding of CCHP and provide support throughout the County for its development. Prioritize and assign to appropriate committees.

On April 24, 2017 the Family and Human Services Committee approved the recommendations to appoint Ella Jones, Tamara Mello, and Debra Shorter-Jones to the Managed Care Commission and is therefore forwarding the recommendation to the full Board for approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Three seats will remain vacant on the Managed Care Commission.
