RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #27-814-8, which contains mutual indemnification, with Credentals Services, Inc. (dba VerifPoint), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $120,000, to provide credentialing services for healthcare providers at Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP), for the period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $120,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Credentals Services, Inc. (dba VerifPoint) has been providing credentialing services for the County since October 2010. This contractor will continue to provide credentialing services for healthcare providers contracted in CCHP's provider network.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 10, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #27-814-7 with Credentals Services, Inc. (dba VerifPoint) in an amount not to exceed $100,000 to provide credentialing and re-credentialing services for CCHP healthcare providers, for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #27-814-8 will allow this contractor to continue providing credentialing services for healthcare providers in CCHP's provider network, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract, through September 30, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County would not receive credentialing and re-credentialing services by this contractor and put CCHP at-risk for non-compliance with Federal, State, and contractual requirements.
