The completion of the official RFP phase outlined above will transition HGAC-Rl to "ongoing plan management". C-CBS will be organizing enrollment process, getting the case through policy issuance, dealing with member services and HR support services, finalizing the integrated billing function, establishing client service support staff of awarded contract carrier, and many other action items for overall plan management. In addition, C-CBS will playa hands on role for managing the financial/performance of the plan including monitoring loss ratios and claim performance in relation to expected levels. Evaluating trouble spots and meeting with the Board on a routine and as needed basis to keep our collective fingers on the trigger at all times. C-CBS will be providing a plan management proposal for consideration the The Board in the near future. In summary, C-CBS is looking for a limited amount of member entities to expend a certain amount of energy to develop a Collective Purchasing Cooperative, in a proven model, to stabilize group medical costs. If an attending entity from the September 28th meeting chooses not to participate, we will have others ready to jump in. I want to keep this positive, however, there are no assurances that your member entity will be afforded the opportunity to participate once final decisions are made for the RFP. If not, your fee will be refunded. I, Bob Treacy, will be calling you over the next week. Time is of the essence. We will move forward as soon as we have a commitment from 750 employees. Call me @ 281-295-3011 with any questions or Email me at bob.treacv@c-cbs.org. I am shooting for a committed timeline of November 7,2004 if possible. I will be in touch. Burke O.
