FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

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 committee.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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 MCC 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, and acceptability of CCHP services by ongoing as well as periodic formal reviews of Management Information System data.

The MCC consists of 15 seats: 9 At-Large, 4 subscriber, and 2 provider seats. Each seat has a fixed three-year term. As recommended by the Phase III of Triennial Advisory Body Review and approved by the Board of Supervisors at its December 5, 2017 meeting, the MCC is in the process of revising its bylaws to add one additional seat for a Medicare subscriber for a senior or person with disabilities as this is required by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. In addition, the MCC is also broadening the title of “medical provider” to include Nurse Practitioners, Physician’s Assistants and Optometrists.

There are currently 7 seats filled in the MCC, 4 expired appointments pending reappointment, 1 pending appointment, and 3 vacant seats without pending candidates. These vacant seats include: Commercial Subscriber, Representative for Medically Indigent Health Care Needs, Physician, and Member-At-Large seats 1, 3, 4, and 8. The current membership is as follows:

Seat Title	Term Expiration Date	Current Incumbent	Incumbent Supervisor District	No. of Meetings Attended Since Appointment Date	Total No. of Meetings Held Since Appointment	Total No. of Absences Allowable in Bylaws
