6 9. CEO REPORT Scott Coffin There will be an going out to the Board before the next Board meeting explaining the Alliance s Turnaround Plan FY We are questioning and testing every administrative expense, but the larger expense is the Medical Expense. Our approach is to cut waste. We have formally asked the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to make a consideration to the Alliance and accelerate the rate process by one-year. Marty and Scott have met with the DHCS regarding this issue. By June 2019, the Alliance should have a decision from the DHCS to accelerate the rate process by one-year or not accelerate it. Last May when we identified this loss, we immediately started communication with DHCS and the Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC). A number of counties are facing significant losses; Medi-Cal is underfunded based on the costs. 10. STAFF ADVISORIES ON BOARD BUSINESS FOR FUTURE MEETINGS Marty Lynch There were no Staff Advisories. 11. PUBLIC COMMENTS (NON- S) Marty Lynch There were no public comments. 12.
