CalOptima Health’s Delegation Model
CalOptima Health works with many subcontractors, including doctors, specialists, pharmacies, hospitals, health networks, medical groups and other health care providers. Subcontractors may be assigned to perform certain tasks on behalf of CalOptima Health. We work together with our subcontractors to determine which functions will be their responsibility and which will remain with CalOptima Health. The tasks could include authorizations, billing, provider credentialing, coordinating medical appointments or other operational functions. CalOptima Health conducts quality assessments of all subcontracted providers to ensure members can see the providers they need for quality care in locations that are easy to access.
