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 Healthy 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 Health 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 main-tenance organization to increase access to health care for low and moderate income San Franciscans. As the third party 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; 4)

communicates program information to participants; 5) handles external communications and outreach activities; 6) conducts provider network
