RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve the list of providers recommended by the Contra Costa Health Plan's Medical Director on July 25-26, 2017 and August 22, 2017, and by the Health Services Director, as required by the California Department of Health Care Services and Managed Health Care, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) requires that evidence of Board of Supervisors' approval must be contained within each Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) provider’s credentials file. Approval of this providers list, as recommended by the CCHP Medical Director, will enable the Contra Costa Health Plan to comply with this requirement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, CCHP's providers will not be appropriately credentialed and in compliance with the NCQA.
