Health Service Board reviews RFP process for competitive bids on 2022 non‑Medicare medical plans
Summary
Executive Director Abby Yant and governance chair Randy Scott summarized the 2022 non‑Medicare medical plan RFP: a ~100‑page document, RFP issued Sept.14, Q&A closed Sept.30, Aon is analyzing proposals, panel reviews begin Dec.1, oral interviews start after the January holiday, and staff expect to bring a recommendation to the board on Feb.11 with a Feb.25 backup meeting.
Executive Director Abby Yant presented a high‑level review of the competitive‑bid request for proposals for the 2022 non‑Medicare medical plans and answered commissioners’ questions about scope, timeline and the evaluation panel.
Yant said the RFP document — nearly 100 pages — includes an overview of the Health Service System, emphasis on value‑based payments, risk‑score analysis, and a detailed scope of work (care management, interoperability, utilization and quality dashboards). She said the RFP was issued on Sept.14; pre‑proposal conferences and questions were completed and answered by Sept.30; notices of intent were received and proposal submissions are now closed. Aon partners are conducting the technical and financial analysis of proposals.
Yant described the evaluation process: materials will be provided to panelists beginning Dec.1, oral interviews will be scheduled after the Jan.1 holiday, and the staff recommendation will be brought to the full board at the Feb.11 meeting with a contingency meeting held Feb.25 if the board requests additional time. The evaluation panel will include city subject‑matter experts, representatives from other jurisdictions and Aon support; Yant said the identities of individual panelists are being kept confidential to protect them from undue influence.
Commissioners asked about minor edits to the board self‑evaluation questionnaire and about the panel selection process. Scott and other members thanked staff for the thorough process; no procurement decisions were taken at this session — the discussion was preparatory and informational.
Staff and consultants will return with evaluation results and, if necessary, materials for the contingent Feb.25 meeting.
