6. 6 Procurement for 2009 Contracts In accordance with the multi-year strategy to streamline administration and focus on consumerism, SHBP conducted a procurement to identify two vendors who could offer the required five products on a statewide basis More than half of SHBP’s covered population lives outside metro Atlanta, and while members had very strong coverage and numerous choices in metro Atlanta, they were lacking choice in the rest of the state In the procurement evaluation, statewide access to a comprehensive network of providers was the category awarded the most points – over 1/3 of the total points available Legislation allowing SHBP the flexibility to not offer CCO (due to low utilization) was passed during 2008 Session In August 2008, DCH Board approved removal of CCO and Indemnity options from 2009 suite of products
