The scope of the health care mission includes primary, urgent, acute, emergency, and long-term mailto:m_CHCPNRFP@cdcr.ca.gov

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation RFI Number SD-25-00033 California Correctional Health Care Services Correctional Health Care Provider Network care, as well as preventative care and chronic care management. Cases requiring specialty medical consultation, treatment, or complex specialty management are seen remotely by telemedicine or referred to community-based medical service providers.

In 2014, CCHCS contracted with a Health Care Provider Network (HCPN) to develop and implement a network of community-based healthcare providers to provide services to incarcerated persons within CDCR and REPS that are not available in the CDCR institutions or REPS facilities. The network consists of hospitals, onsite and offsite specialty care, and a full scope of ancillary services.

C. SCOPE OF WORK AND REQUIREMENTS

CCHCS is requesting information from qualified contractors that can provide a HCPN to our patient population. The organization will enter into contracts with sufficient numbers, types and geographic locations of participating Providers to ensure that all covered services will be available and accessible to CDCR and REPS incarcerated persons, in accordance with CCHCS’ requirements. It will establish and expand the number of cost-effective provider contracts within the statewide HCPN for off-site and on-site health care to CDCR and REPS patients. The network must also include provider services in Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona for nearby CDCR institutions or facilities. The organization must contract with select hospitals, physicians, and other Providers identified by CCHCS if the Provider meets organization’s network standard and pricing guidelines. The HCPN shall include, but is not limited to, the services found in Attachment A – Scope of Services and Attachment A-1 – Prior Authorization.
