RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #27-814-7, containing mutual indemnification, with Credentals Services, Inc. (dba VerifPoint), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, to provide credentialing services for healthcare providers at Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP), for the period from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% CCHP Enterprise Fund II. (No Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

On October 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #27-814-5 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #27-814-6) with Credentals Services, Inc. (dba VerifPoint) to provide credentialing and re-credentialing services for CCHP healthcare providers, for the period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract #27-814-7 will allow Contractor to continue providing credentialing services for healthcare providers, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract, through September 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s providers will not be credentialed, and CCHP would be at-risk for non-compliance with Federal, State, and contractual requirements, and could subject County to potential sanctions, civil penalties, and corrective action plans.
