RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and ACKNOWLEDGE that, by its terms, the contract between the County and Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., pertaining to healthcare services to Contra Costa County Health Plan Medi-Cal members enrolled in the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, and initially approved by the Board on September 27, 2016 (Item C.34), with a maximum payment limit of $600,000,000 will renew automatically every two years unless terminated by either party, notwithstanding a prior contract amendment with a termination date of September 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will result in no additional contractual expenditures.

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized health care services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been a part of the CCHP Provider Network since October 1, 2004, providing health care services for CCHP Medi-Cal recipients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 27, 2016 (Item C.34), the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #27-277-20 with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $600,000,000 to provide health care services for Medi-Cal recipients enrolled in the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, for the period from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2019.

On July 10, 2018 (Item C.77), the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement #27-277-21, to add a delegation provision with no change in the payment limit of $600,000,000 or term of October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2019.

On September 9, 2019 (Item C.133), the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment/Extension Agreement #27-277-22, to extend the term from September 30, 2019 to September 30, 2021, with no change in the payment limit of $600,000,000, to allow the contractor to continue to provide additional Medi-Cal services to Medi-Cal members enrolled in the Kaiser Health Plan through September 30, 2021.

This Board Order clarifies the incorrect term language as previously approved by the Board on September 27, 2016, July 10, 2018, and September 10, 2019 to correct the term to match the agreement so it will automatically be renewed for successive two-year periods, until such time it is terminated by either party.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the recommendation is not approved, the prior Board action will stand and will be inconsistent with the contract term agreed upon in the original contract from 2016.
