QUESTIONS PRESENTED AND SHORT ANSWERS

Q: Can a Commissioner of Gold Coast Health Plan (“GCHP”) cast a vote to adopt or

amend an agenda item relating to procedures for “auto-assigning” GCHP members to

“safety net providers” or “traditional providers,” when such Commissioner has a

financial interest in the decision (e.g., as an investor, director, officer, employee of a

contracted safety net or traditional provider)?

A: No. If a Commissioner has a financial interest in the decision (e.g., as an investor,

director, officer, employee of a contracted safety net or traditional provider), then

that Commissioner may not cast a vote to adopt or amend the corresponding

agenda item.

Q: If one or more of the Commissioners who voted on the agenda item on auto-assignment

were disqualified due to the presence of a conflict of interest, then what procedures

should be followed?

A: Two alternatives may be considered: (1) Re-vote the item using the concept of

“legally required participation”; or (2) do not re-vote the item, but instead,

delegate the authority to accept or amend the recommendations of the study

group.

II.

FACTS

At GCHP‟s regular meeting of Commissioners held on May 23, 2011, Agenda

item 4.a was to approve the “Auto-Assignment Study Group Recommendations” which would

thereupon become GCHP‟s policy on auto-assignment. The study group that developed the

recommendations included health care providers from the community who are not

Commissioners.

The recommendations, as originally presented to the Commissioners, included the

following provisions:

Defined “Safety Net Provider,” “Traditional Provider” and “Non-Traditional

Provider.”

Limited assignment by GCHP of auto-assigned members to Safety Net Providers

and Traditional Providers only.

Weighted the assignment between Safety Net Providers and Traditional Providers

as follows: “Safety Net Providers will be assigned two members for every one

member assigned to Traditional Providers.”

Following discussion among the Commissioners, a motion to amend the study

group recommendations was made by Commissioner Juarez (and seconded by Commissioner

Gonzalez) to change the weighting such that “Safety Net Providers will be assigned three

[instead of two] members for every one member assigned to Traditional Providers.” Five

Commissioners (i.e., Commissioners Araujo, Gonzalez, Juarez, Long and Rodriguez) voted in

favor of the motion to amend the study group recommendations, while the remaining three

Commissioners (i.e., Chairman Dial and Commissioners Berry and Jarvis) voted against the

motion to amend.1

Although counsel indicated at the meeting that the motion to amend had carried,

upon further consideration regarding the possible financial interests which certain

Commissioners may have in GCHP‟s Auto-Assignment Policy and the impact which such

financial interests would have on their ability to vote on the Auto-Assignment Policy, the

analysis set forth in this memorandum was prepared.

III.

ANALYSIS

A. The Political Reform Act prohibits a Commissioner’s participation in a decision in

which the Commissioner has a conflict of interest.

Pursuant to Article XII of the GCHP bylaws, Commissioners are subject to the

conflict of interest rules set forth in the Political Reform Act of 1974 (Calif. Gov. Code, §87100

et seq.) (the “Political Reform Act”).2

Under the Political Reform Act, a Commissioner will be deemed to have a

conflict of interest if a decision has a “reasonably foreseeable material financial effect” on a

Commissioner‟s economic interests.3

1 Commissioners Chawla, Eberst and Fankhauser were absent from this meeting.

2 See GCHP bylaws, Art. XII:

“VCMMCC members [i.e., Commissioners] are subject to conflict of interest laws, including

Government Code section 1090 and the 1974 Political Reform Act (Government Code section

8100 et seq.), as modified by Welfare and Institutions Code section 14087.57, and must identify

and disclose any conflicts and refrain from participating in any manner in such matters in

accordance with the applicable statutes. Members of the VCMMCC agree to adhere to all

relevant standards established by state or federal law regarding ethical behavior.” (Emphasis

added.)

3 See Title 2, Calif. Code of Regulations (“CCR”), §18700.

“No public official at any level of state or local government may make, participate in making or

in any way use or attempt to use his/her official position to influence a governmental decision in

LAW OFFICES

An “economic interest” includes (i) a direct or indirect investment worth $2,000

or more in a business entity; (ii) being a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or holding

any position of management in a business entity (or its parent or subsidiary); or (iii) any source

of income of $500 or more within 12 months prior to the time the decision is made.4

Exhibit A

sets forth some of the materiality standards that may be applicable regarding the agenda item‟s

financial effect on a Commissioner‟s economic interests.

For example, if the Auto-Assignment Policy would have a material financial

effect on a Commissioner‟s employer or source of income to the Commissioner (by increasing or

decreasing the applicable entity‟s revenues or expenses by an amount exceeding the stated

materiality threshold), then, that Commissioner may not “make, participate in making or in any

which he/she knows or has reason to know he/she has a disqualifying conflict of interest. A

public official has a conflict of interest if the decision will have a reasonably foreseeable material

financial effect on one or more of his/her economic interests, unless the public official can

establish either: (1) that the effect is indistinguishable from the effect on the public generally, or

(2) a public official's participation is legally required.” Also see Calif. Gov. Code, §87100

4 See, e.g., Calif. Gov. Code §87103:

“A public official has a financial interest in a decision within the meaning of Section 87100 if it is

reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have a material financial effect, distinguishable from

its effect on the public generally, on the official, a member of his or her immediate family, or on

any of the following:

“(a) Any business entity in which the public official has a direct or indirect investment worth two

thousand dollars ($2,000) or more.

“(b) Any real property in which the public official has a direct or indirect interest worth two

thousand dollars ($2,000) or more.

“(c) Any source of income, except gifts or loans by a commercial lending institution made in the

regular course of business on terms available to the public without regard to official status,

aggregating five hundred dollars ($500) or more in value provided or promised to, received by,

the public official within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made.

“(d) Any business entity in which the public official is a director, officer, partner, trustee,

employee, or holds any position of management.

“(e) Any donor of, or any intermediary or agent for a donor of, a gift or gifts aggregating two

hundred fifty dollars ($250) or more in value provided to, received by, or promised to the public

official within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made. The amount of the value of

gifts specified by this subdivision shall be adjusted biennially by the commission to equal the

same amount determined by the commission pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 89503.”

way use or attempt to use his/her official position to influence” a decision involving the Auto-

Assignment Policy.

Thus, to the extent (i) one or more Commissioners are employed by, or hold an

economic interest or management position in, a “Safety Net Provider” or a “Traditional

Provider” (as such terms are defined in the study group recommendations), and (ii) the Auto-

Assignment Policy has a material financial effect on that “Safety Net Provider” or “Traditional

Provider,” then, pursuant to the Political Reform Act, the applicable Commissioner would be

prohibited from voting to adopt or amend the Auto-Assignment Policy

B. Alternatives in the event of disqualification of one or more Commissioners.

Although on its face, it would seem a relatively simple fix to simply throw out the

disqualified votes and count only the disinterested votes from the May 23rd

meeting, this would

not be a viable option for various reasons, including the following:

If the Commissioner who made the motion to amend the auto-assignment agenda

item was disqualified, then, it would follow that the motion itself would be invalid

because a disqualified Commissioner would be prohibited from making,

participating in making or in any way using or attempting to use his official

position to influence a decision involving the Auto-Assignment Policy.

Introducing motions that might influence the direction of a decision on auto-

assignment would arguably constitute “participation in a decision” and would be

prohibited to a disqualified Commissioner. Thus, if the motion itself was invalid,

then a vote to approve or reject the invalid motion should likewise be of no effect.

If certain Commissioners were disqualified from casting their votes on May 23rd

,

then there may not have been a quorum present for purposes of voting on that

agenda item because disqualified Commissioners are not counted for purposes of

a quorum.5

For example, if seven Commissioners are required for a quorum, but

there were only four disinterested Commissioners, a quorum would have been

lacking for valid action.

Even if certain disqualified Commissioners could be counted towards a quorum

using the concept of “legally required participation” discussed below, certain

procedures would need to be complied with in advance, including the prior

disclosure of any conflict applicable to each Commissioner as it relates to that

item.

consideration:

In view of these issues, the following possible alternatives are proposed for

1. Alternative 1: Re-vote the auto-assignment agenda item using the concept of

“legally required participation.”

If the May 23rd

motion to amend the Auto-Assignment Policy and its

corresponding vote were invalid for the reasons discussed above, then, the original auto-

assignment agenda item could be resubmitted for vote using the concept of “legally required

participation” as follows:

The vote may be resubmitted to the Commission at such time as all disinterested

Commissioners are present (which may include certain of those Commissioners

who were absent from the May 23rd

meeting).6

“When an official with a disqualifying conflict of interest abstains from making a governmental decision in an open session of the agency and the official remains on the dais or in his or her

designated seat during deliberations of the governmental decision in which he or she is

disqualified, his or her presence shall not be counted toward achieving a quorum.”

6 See 2 CCR §18708(c)(2):

“[a disqualified Commissioner shall not be allowed] to vote if a quorum can be convened of

other members of the agency who are not disqualified under Government Code section 87100,

whether or not such other members are actually present at the time of the disqualification.”

(Emphasis added.)

LAW OFFICES

If the disinterested Commissioners are insufficient in number to constitute a

quorum, then, the disqualified Commissioners may be permitted to participate,

but only to the extent needed to constitute a quorum, and shall not be permitted to

vote.7

For example, if there are four disinterested Commissioners, then three

disqualified Commissioners would be counted for purposes of establishing a

quorum for that item.

If the total number of disinterested Commissioners does not constitute a majority

of the quorum, then, one or more disqualified Commissioners may be permitted to

vote as needed such that the number of voting Commissioners would constitute a

majority of the quorum.8

For example, if there are only three disinterested

Commissioners (which is less than the four out of seven needed to take action),

then, one of the three disqualified Commissioners may be permitted to vote in

addition to being counted for purposes of establishing a quorum for that item.

The existence and nature of the conflict for each disqualified Commissioner

would need to be disclosed orally during open session prior to the re-vote.9

7 See 2 CCR §18708(c)(3):

“participation [shall be required] by the smallest number of officials with a conflict that are

“legally required” in order for the decision to be made. A random means of selection may be used

to select only the number of officials needed. When an official is selected, he or she is selected

for the duration of the proceedings in all related matters until his or her participation is no longer

legally required, or the need for invoking the exception no longer exists.” (Emphasis added.)

Also see 61 Ops. Cal. Atty. Gen. 243 (1978):

“Accordingly, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) ruled that where three of five

members of a city board of building review were disqualified pursuant to section 87100, only one

of the three disqualified members could participate in the hearing in order to create a quorum.

(4 FPPC Opinions 13 (No. 77-007, February 7, 1978).) [FN10] In reaching this conclusion, the

FPPC held that the concept of „legally required participation‟ is to be narrowly construed so that

the impact of the resulting bias can be minimized.” (Emphasis added.)

8 However, a disqualified Commissioner shall not be permitted to vote for the purpose of breaking a tie.

See 2 CCR §18708(c)(1).

9 See 2 CCR §18708(b).

2. Alternative 2: Do not re-vote the auto-assignment agenda item, but instead,

delegate the authority to accept or amend the recommendations of the study

group.

A re-vote utilizing disqualified Commissioners under Alternative 1 described

above may be used only “if there exists no alternative source of decision consistent with the

purposes and terms of the statute authorizing the decision.”10

However, an “alternative source of decision” may be deemed to exist if the

decision on the Auto-Assignment Policy is delegated by the Commissioners to the CEO, for

example, which would then bypass the need to re-vote the item under the concept of “legally

required participation” of disqualified Commissioners as described above.

C. The Chair is not prohibited from voting at any time.

The GCHP bylaws are silent on the issue of when the Chair may or may not vote,

however, the bylaws permit the use of Roberts Rules of Order (current edition) to resolve

questions of procedure that are not otherwise addressed in the bylaws.11

Roberts Rules of Order (10th Ed.) generally gives the Chair the same right to vote

as other Commissioners, but states that “the chair protects his impartial position by exercising his

voting right only when his vote would affect the outcome, in which case he can either vote and

thereby change the result, or he can abstain.”12

There is an exception, however, for “small boards or committees.” A “small

board” is a board where “there are not more than about a dozen members present.”

10

See 2 CCR §18708(a):

“A public official who has a financial interest in a decision may establish that he or she is legally

required to make or to participate in the making of a governmental decision within the meaning of

Government Code section 87101 only if there exists no alternative source of decision consistent

with the purposes and terms of the statute authorizing the decision.”

“The rules governing such [small board] meetings are different

from the rules that hold in other assemblies, in the following

respects:…

“The chairman can speak in discussion without rising or leaving the chair; and, subject to rule or custom within the particular board (which should be uniformly followed regardless of how many members are present), he usually can make motions and usually

votes on all questions.”13

Based on the foregoing, Dr. Dial‟s vote on the auto assignment agenda item in his

capacity as Chair was appropriate and should have been counted (subject to the validity of the

motion).

RE: Auto-Assignment Policy BACKGROUND After establishing eligibility and upon enrollment into the plan, members are requested to select a Primary Care Provider (Physician or Clinic). In the event that a member does not timely select a PCP, the plan will assign the member to a provider. The Commission requested that a study group review issues related to the definition of “traditional provider” and the policy for auto assignment.

RECOMMENDATION The study group met on April 20, 2011 and again on May 18 to discuss the issue. It was recognized that a member has the right to change his/her Primary Care Physician whether self- selected or “auto-assigned” by notifying the plan, thus preserving the member’s freedom of choice. It was also recognized that the assignment process must give appropriate consideration to various member-specific factors, such as: zip code of Member’s residence, age, gender, and language.

The group developed the following recommendations:

1) That “Safety Net Provider” refers only to recognized disproportionate share hospitals (DSH), federally qualified health centers (FQHC), and rural health centers (RHC).

2) That “Traditional Provider” refers to those providers that have served Ventura County Medi-Cal beneficiaries for at least three years, and with a patient population / payor mix of at least 30% Medi-Cal and/or uninsured/charity care.

3) That “Non-Traditional Provider” refers to those providers that have served Ventura County Medi-Cal beneficiaries for at least one year.

4) That participation in the auto-assignment panel is limited to Safety Net Providers or Traditional Provider as defined above.

5) That assignment be weighted: Safety Net Providers will be assigned two members for every one member assigned to Traditional Providers.

Discussion: Management recommends the appointment of Dr. Clive Salmon (podiatrist) to fill the vacancy. His brief biography follows:

Dr. Salmon earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Long Beach State University and graduated from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in 1979. He has been in private practice in Oxnard since 1980 and served as the staff podiatrist for Camarillo State Hospital from 1984 to its closure in 1996.

INTRODUCTION We are pleased to provide the 2011 Gold Coast Health Plan List of Covered Drugs as a useful reference and informational tool. The GCHP List of Covered Drugs can assist practitioners in selecting clinically appropriate and cost effective products for their patients.

The information contained in the GCHP List of Covered Drugs is provided solely for the convenience of medical providers. We do not warrant or assure accuracy of such information nor is it intended to be comprehensive in nature. This List of Covered Drugs is not intended to be a substitute for the knowledge, expertise, skill and judgment of the medical provider in his or her choice of prescription drugs. All the information in this List of Covered Drugs is provided as a reference for drug therapy selection. Specific drug selection for an individual patient rests solely with the prescriber.

We assume no responsibility for the actions or omissions of any medical provider based upon reliance, in whole or in part, on the information contained herein. The medical provider should consult the drug manufacturer's product literature or standard references for more detailed information.

National guidelines can be found on the National Guideline Clearinghouse site at http://www.guideline.gov

PREFACE The GCHP List of Covered Drugs is organized by sections. Each section is divided by therapeutic drug class primarily defined by mechanism of action. Unless exceptions are noted, generally all applicable dosage forms and strengths of the drug cited are included in the GCHP List of Covered Drugs. Generics should be considered the first line of prescribing.

Drugs represented in the GCHP List of Covered Drugs may have varying cost to the plan member based on the plans benefit structure. Generic medications typically are available at the lowest cost, brand-name medications on the GCHP List of Covered Drugs will generally cost more than generics, and brand-name medications not on the list will generally cost the most.

PHARMACY AND THERAPEUTICS (P&T) COMMITTEE The services of the GCHP Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee ("P&T Committee") are utilized to approve safe and clinically effective drug therapies. The P&T Committee is an external advisory body of experts. The P&T Committee's voting members include physicians and pharmacists, all of whom have a broad background of clinical and academic expertise regarding prescription drugs. Employees with significant clinical expertise are invited to meet with the P&T Committee. Voting members of the P&T Committee must disclose any financial relationship or conflicts of interest with any pharmaceutical manufacturers.

GENERIC SUBSTITUTION Generic substitution is a pharmacy action whereby a generic version is dispensed rather than a prescribed brand-name product. However, not all strengths or dosage forms of the generic name in may be generically available. The GCHP List of Covered Drugs is a mandatory generic drug list. So whenever a generic to a covered agent becomes available, it is added. And if the branded agent was part of the cover drug list, the branded agent will be removed from the covered drug list.

Generic drugs are usually priced lower than their brand-name equivalents. Generic drugs are:

• Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for safety and effectiveness, and are manufactured under the

same strict standards that apply to brand-name drugs.

• Tested in humans to assure the generic is absorbed into the bloodstream in a similar rate and extent compared to the brand-name drug (bioequivalence). Generics may be different from the brand in size, color, and inactive ingredients, but this does not alter their effectiveness or ability to be absorbed just like the brand-name drug.

• Manufactured in the same strength and dosage form as the brand-name drugs.

• When a generic drug is substituted for a brand-name drug, you can expect the generic to produce the same clinical effect and safety profile as the brand-name drug (therapeutic equivalence).

SPECIALTY PLAN DESIGN Specialty Guideline Management (SGM)

SGM is our utilization management program that helps ensure appropriate utilization for specialty medication based on currently accepted evidence-based medicine guidelines. The utilization management program is available for all therapeutic areas dispensed by our specialty pharmacies. SGM is designed to ensure safety and efficacy while preventing off-guideline utilization. Medications which may be included in the SGM program are identified in the GCHP List of Covered Drugs under the heading of “Specialty Medications” for your reference. SGM may also be combined with Inventory Management/ Dose Optimization and Optimal Drug Mix through High Performance Specialty Design to appropriately manage specialty medications.

PLAN DESIGN The GCHP List of Covered Drugs is a closed drug list plan design. The medications listed on the drug list are covered by the plan as represented. Certain medications on the list are covered if utilization management criteria are met (i.e. Step Therapy, LMN, CPA, Quantity Limits, etc); requests for use of such medications outside of their listed criteria will be reviewed for medical necessity.

Should it become necessary to write a prescription for a drug, which is not on the GCHP List of Covered Drugs, one must obtain clinical prior authorization.

LEGEND CPA Clinical Prior Authorization LMN Letter of Medical Necessity QL Quantity Limit STEP Step Therapy

June 23, 2011

Earl Greenia

Chief Executive Officer

Gold Coast Health Plan

2220 E. Gonzales Road, Suite 200

Oxnard, CA 93036

Dear Earl,

Thank you for the opportunity to provide this written update to you and the Commission. Script

Care and GCHP have been working diligently to ensure a successful go-live on July 1. Some

recent successes include:

- Script Care and your Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee recently completed the

final draft of the List of Covered Drugs (formulary).

- We officially opened our local office at 1701 Solar, Oxnard, CA on June 20, 2011. The

office has begun fielding calls and inquiries regarding the Pharmacy Services program.

Our customer service department will begin providing 24 hour access on July 1, 2011.

- We are making the final adjustments on the plan design in the adjudication system to be

completed on June 27.

- Script Care has completed the Pharmacy Network development, and the network has

been loaded and activated in the system.

I understand that there has been concern voiced by a few of the local independent pharmacy

owners. Any transition from a fee-for-service to a managed care reimbursement system will

create some anxiety. Since the last commission meeting, we have continued outreach to

independent and chain providers in the community. We held two open forum meetings with 27

attendees, 4 direct provider meetings, 6 pharmacy location meetings and multiple conference

calls with chain providers. We have addressed concerns such as timing of activation, member

awareness, changes in program design, the list of covered drugs, and reimbursement rates.

We have conducted multiple meetings with these pharmacies over the past two months to hear

their concerns. We have provided information including cost analysis and the detailed MAC list.

4g-1

We also made some favorable adjustments to the original contract offer based on the concerns

expressed by these providers. These included combining the limited and restricted network to

offer more favorable reimbursement, limiting the network to provide contract pharmacies with

increased volume opportunity, and increasing the dispensing fee in the Long Term Care

population to $2.25, an increase of $1.00 per prescription.

We have provided a comparative analysis (please see attached Exhibit A) including some of the

other COHS pharmacy reimbursement rates and other local PBM reimbursement rates to

address the fairness on the contracted rates that continues to be expressed directly to Script

Care by these few providers. The comparison illustrates that the adjustments SCL made to the

original contract offering make the GCHP reimbursement rates more favorable to pharmacies

than what is found in similar programs.

Original concerns regarding the brand reimbursements rates have decreased among providers

after a cost analysis was conducted to demonstrate the manner in which brand claims were

adjudicated. Providers were able to see that little to no change is found in the reimbursement of

brand drugs. The focus moved to generic products and concerns were voiced that pharmacies

would only see gross profit margin averages of $1.25 to $2.00 per script. We understand

pharmacy reimbursements will be reduced in comparison to the Medi-Cal FFS rates although not

to the level expressed by these few providers. Exhibit B utilizes a generic reimbursement

comparison provided by the referenced local independent providers on May 24, 2011. In this

analysis we added the acquisition cost provided by a local independent pharmacy to give

reference to the average margins expected on these items.

Script Care/GCHP will be conducting a Pharmacy Benefit Outreach Program on June 29 at

7:30pm held at the Adagio Building, Hilton Garden Inn, 2000 Solar Drive. The program has

been announced (please see Exhibit C) to all providers in the network. With the expectation of

an average 3,500+ transactions a day, the focus of the meeting will be to educate pharmacies

on changes, procedures and requirements to enable a smoother transition.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to provide this response.

Sincerely,

Kevin J. Brown Executive Vice President Script Care, Ltd.
