RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT a position of "Support with comments" for SB 343 (Pan): Healthcare Data Disclosure, and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to sign the letter of support with comments.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

SB 343 seeks to standardize the reporting requirements for healthcare costs and data which, in principle, our Board supports. However, Kaiser is a strong community partner, and we are conditioning our support on the continued discussions with stakeholders including impacted reporters, to explore the most effective methods of meeting the desired goals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

SB 343 could provide Contra Costa County and other employers with more uniform healthcare cost data during purchasing negotiations for employee health insurance plans and provide consistent data with which to compare options and outcomes.
