Information

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 the 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 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 their 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.

Referral Update:

There are currently 10 seats filled in the MCC, 1 pending appointments, and 4 vacant seats without pending candidates. These vacant seats include: Commercial Subscriber, Representative for Medically Indigent Health Care Needs, At-Large 3, At-Large 8, and Physician. The current membership is as follows:
