RFP 2025HCA5 Exhibit E - Service Area.xlsx

This is a Service Area Exhibit template for RFP 2025HCA5 issued by the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) to establish scoring criteria for bidders proposing to provide fully-insured health plans. The exhibit uses a two-part evaluation framework where bidders select "Yes" or "No" for each of Washington's 39 counties to indicate service area coverage. Part A scores bidders based on county selections, with all counties covered earning 20 bonus points and individual county selections earning varying points ranging from 5 to 20 points depending on the county's current Fully Insured Plans coverage status. The Point Tally section calculates total Exhibit E points automatically through the template's scoring mechanism. Part B provides a point index for manual scoring by HCA for counties proposed by a single bidder, with point values assigned based on whether counties are currently covered by Fully Insured Plans for PEBB, SEBB, or neither.

The point allocation reflects differentiated scoring across Washington's counties, with higher values assigned to counties with limited existing Fully Insured Plans coverage, such as Clallam County, Douglas County, Jefferson County, Klackitat County, and San Juan County (each worth 20 points), and lower values for counties with established coverage like Adams County, Asotin County, and Chelan County (worth 5-10 points). Bidders must complete the template by selecting coverage preferences for all counties, and the system automatically calculates total points in cell F6, allowing HCA to objectively assess each bidder's proposed service area coverage as part of the overall proposal evaluation.
