In July 2006, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted the Health Care Security Ordinance, which charged DPH with the responsibility for developing a new health access program called Health San Francisco. This ordinance requires DPH to “coordinate with a third party vendor to administer program operations, including basic customer services, enrollment, tracking service utilization, billing and communication with the participants.” (SF Administrative Code Sec. 14.2) DPH selected the San Francisco Plan (SFHP) as third party vendor. SFHP, operated by the San Francisco Community Health Authority, is a governmental entity created by the City in 1994 solely to serve as a health maintenance organization to increase access to health care for low and moderate income San Franciscans. As the third part vendor for HSF, SFHP: (1) assists in eligibility and enrollment functions, (2) manages participant fee billing and collection, (3) receives utilization data and develops utilization reports, (continued on attachment) |
