Provider Advisory Committee

In June, 2010, Community Care convened the first meeting of the Provider Advisory Committee. This group, chaired by a member of the Community Care Board of Directors, consists of providers representing a variety of service categories and all the counties served by Community Care. Community Care staff and a representative of DHS round out the membership. The purpose of the group is outlined below:

• Serve as a communication conduit between the Community Care, Inc. Board of Directors and the subcontracted member service organizations and agencies to ensure a smooth flow of appropriate financial, quality, utilization and satisfaction information in all directions
• Secure provider input in program management of long-term managed care services
  
• Assist Community Care, Inc. in providing managed care programs that support member outcomes in a financially prudent way that ensures good stewardship of public funds.
  
• Assist providers in understanding how to work successfully in a managed care system environment
  
• Create a public and transparent process where questions and concerns are openly expressed and addressed and where effective problem solving can occur

The Committee meets quarterly; minutes are posted below:
