Existing law authorizes a County Board of Supervisors, by ordinance, to establish a commission to negotiate an exclusive contract with the department to provide or arrange for the provision of, health care services under the Medi-Cal program. This system of services provided by or through a County under these provisions is known as a County Organized Health System (COHS). This bill would codify those provisions of the enabling ordinance that prescribe the membership composition, the qualifications for individual members, tenure of the members, and the procedure for removing a member of the governing body of the commission established in the County of Orange, known as the Orange County Health Authority (dba CalOptima Health).
The Orange County Health Authority shall be vested in a governing body consisting of 10 members: nine voting members and one non-voting member. The non-voting member shall be the Director of the OC Health Care Agency (HCA). The nine voting members shall be nominated by the OC Health Care Agency (HCA) and appointed by a majority vote of the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
The OC Health Care Agency is pleased to announce that recruitment is now open for the CalOptima Health Board of Directors. As a County Organized Health System, CalOptima Health serves over 829,000 low-income children, adults, seniors, and people with disabilities. CalOptima Health launched in 1995 in response to the local health care system’s difficulty in meeting the needs of vulnerable Orange County residents. Today, CalOptima Health is the single largest health insurer in Orange County and is recognized statewide for delivering quality care. CalOptima Health’s mission is to serve member health with excellence and dignity, respecting the value and needs of each person.
