Contract for Managed Care Administrative Services, Vice Chancellor for Health Services, Chicago

(34) The chancellor at Chicago recommends a contract with Practice Resources, Inc., (PRI) of Oak Brook, for administrative services for a period of one year with delegation of authority to the comptroller to extend the contract for two additional one-year periods. In the past, the UIHMO has provided these services in a limited fashion for the UIC Physician Group and Hospital. With organizational changes occurring at the UIC Medical Center and the UIHMO, this arrangement is no longer appropriate. Under the contract, PRI will maintain patient enrollment information, verify eligibility for services and respond to inquiries related to CampusCare and AlumniCare members of UIHMO. In addition, PRI will be responsible for managing and processing claims related to these members. They will provide regular physician practice patterns, referral, and utilization reports. PRI will also provide reports to allow for appropriate distribution of revenue from UIHMO. Payments under the contract, which is effective August 1, 1995, will be $1.00 per member per month for UIHMO members. It is estimated that in the first year of the agreement, payments will not exceed $170,000. Revenue from the UIHMO is deposited into and will be available from the UICMC Managed Care self-supporting fund. The vice president and business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Governor Edgar, Ms. Lopez. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Rose; no, none; absent, Mr. Mathew.)
