RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #29-790-2 containing mutual indemnification with NEC Networks, LLC, (dba Capture RX), a limited liability company, to provide reporting and identification of pharmacy claims eligible for drugs covered under the 340B Drug Discount Program, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Under the Public Health Service Act, Section 340B, the County is required to enroll in the 340B Drug Discount Program to enhance the access of eligible patient enrollees to necessary drugs while managing pharmacy costs of covered drugs. The Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) has partnered with the contractor to enhance reporting and identification of CCHP enrollees who are eligible for drug discounts under the 340B Drug Discount Program, since July 1, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 9, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #29-790-1, for the contractor to act as an intermediary between the County and the State Department of Health Care Services to perform data analysis and identification of pharmacy claims eligible under the 340B Drug Discount Program, for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #29-790-2 will allow this contractor to continue to provide reporting and identification of CCHP members who are eligible for drug discounts under the 340B Drug Discount Program through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive additional pharmacy discounts under the 340B Drug Discount Program.
