Agenda 09/09/2014 Item #16E 7 9/9/2014 16.E.7.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award Request for Proposal 14-6293, Onsite Medical Clinic, to
Millennium Physician Group, LLC, and authorize the Chairman to execute the contract
after final review by the Office of the County Attorney. Total estimated cost to provide
the Option 1 services(current clinic model)as outlined in the RFP is$523,728 per year.
OBJECTIVE: To provide onsite medical services to employees and dependents covered under the
Collier County Group Health Plan for the purpose of promoting health, wellness, occupational health,
safety and productivity.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Risk Management Department administers a partially self-funded Group
Health Insurance Program for its employees, participating constitutional officer employees and their
eligible dependents. In 2006, the Board approved the creation of an onsite medical clinic to provide
medical care to employees and dependents covered under the Group Health Insurance Program.
Since that time, services provided through the clinic have expanded beyond acute care to include the
management of chronic conditions such as pre-diabetes and diabetes under the Smart Choice
program; cardiac health under the Heart Smart program; and weight management under the New You
program. Services are provided at the Main Campus location as well as a North Clinic location.
The current agreement with Vocatus Medical Management Services will end on November 14, 2014.
In anticipation of this termination, staff prepared Request for Proposal (RFP) 14-6293 for release to
interested vendors. The RFP expands services provided through the clinic to include Environmental
Health and Safety services such as post accident, reasonable suspicion, and CDL drug testing; pre
and post employment physical examinations for CDL drivers; respirator testing and clearance;
pulmonary testing and clearance; baseline medical screening; and work appropriate vaccinations. By
expanding the types of services offered through the clinic, duplicate services and their associated
costs can be reduced or eliminated elsewhere.
The RFP was released on May 16, 2014. Email notices were sent to nine hundred and twenty (920)
addresses; sixty-six (66) addresses downloaded proposal packages. Four (4) vendors submitted
proposals.The County Manager approved Selection Committee met on July 17, 2014 and scored and
ranked the proposals. By consensus, the committee agreed to invite the top three (3) ranked vendors
to present their proposals and respond to specific interview questions; Marathon Health was the fourth
(4th) ranked firm and not invited to respond to questions. Meetings were completed on July 22, 2014.
The Selection Committee met on July 23, 2014 to finalize its rankings and make a final
recommendation to the Board.The final rankings are as follows.
1) Millennium Physician Group, LLC
2) NCH Healthcare System
3) Treasure Coast Medical Associates
It was the consensus of the committee that Millennium offered the preferred combination of
professional capability and staffing, price, performance guarantees and flexibility to not only service
the County's program, but to move it forward in a positive and productive direction. Therefore, the
committee unanimously recommends the award to Millennium Physician Group.

The agreement will commence on November 14, 2014. In year one of the agreement, the existing
clinic services as detailed in Option 1 of the RFP will commence. Option 2 and 3 services, which add t
biometric testing, pre-employment physicals and drug testing services, will be added in year 2 as the
current agreements with Quest Diagnostics (biometric testing) and Advanced Medical Center of
Naples (pre-employment physicals and Drug Testing) expire. The contract term is for five years.

outlined in the RFP is $523,728 per year based upon an estimated monthly enrollment of 1,820
employees. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in Fund 517, Group Health and Life for this purpose.

Agreement#14-6293 Collier County On Site Medical Clinic
Exhibit A
Scope of Services
This Agreement is for On-Site Primary Care Health Services, utilizing an integral approach to
promote a healthy and productive workforce through the provision of cost-effective onsite
primary healthcare services to employees enrolled under the Collier County Group Insurance
Plan.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Due to limited implementation timeframes, the County reserves the right to implement
portions of the programs/services subsequent to the commencement of this agreement,at the
County's sole discretion, and upon a minimum of thirty (30) days advance notice to the
Provider. For example, the qualifying year for the Invest in Your Health Program begins
November 1, 2014, and the termination of the expiring clinic contract is November 14, 2014.
Therefore, it may not be possible to transition the program in a manner that permits the
implementation of the entire scope of services in year one(1) of the contract.
It is the County's desire to implement certain Environmental Health and Safety screenings,
limited Workers' Compensation services, and Biometric Screening services as part of the
scope of the overall clinic services. However, the County reserves the right to outsource these
services separately. The County may elect to transition additional services for Biometric
Screening and Environmental Health and Safety and Limited Workers' Compensation as the
current provider contracts come to an end.
The County reserves the right to phase the implementation of Options 2, 3, and 4, beyond
Option 1 over a period of time provided, in the County's sole opinion, that Millennium has
the capability to deliver each of the options requested. For example, the County may choose
to recommend Option 1 in the first year with a plan to transition to Option 4 over a three (3)
to five(5)year period. It is the intent of the County to continue to offer services at the existing
Main clinic location in year one (1) of the agreement and at a North site location to be
operated by the Provider. It is understood that should the County wish to expand services in
subsequent years and should a new location be required, Millennium shall assist the County
in the required analysis and possess the required expertise to implement this expansion.
2. REQUIRED SERVICES-Current and General Services
The Provider shall provide on-going support to onsite professional staff serving CCG
through its corporate infrastructure and management resources,to include the following:
1. Provision of primary care services to employees, eligible spouses and covered dependents
age fifteen (15) or older who choose to use the clinic for that purpose.

occur on a weekly basis. The clinic will also be expected to retain this data in its own
EMR.
10. Provide an electronic medical records system to house all screening data as well as the
data that might be collected in the course of providing primary care and other services.
Such medical record system will be required to interface with the HIE (Health

Section 3 below.
The Invest in Your Health Program
The onsite clinic currently has operating hours of 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM, and is an integral
part of the County's Health plan which includes an innovative wellness program referred to
as Invest in Your Health Program. Under the program, covered employees and spouses do not
have a choice of health plans in the traditional sense where an employee can buy better
coverage. Under the plan that was implemented in 2009, employees earn their way to better
coverage by completing a variety of "qualifiers" that are intended to help members become
aware of their health status and act on that knowledge. These activities can be summarized
as follows:
• Have blood drawn and specific tests performed including Hemoglobin A1C, Fasting
Glucose, Lipid Panel, Kidney Function (BUN, eGFR, Creatine, and Serum Cotinine. In
addition to blood chemistry, the individual's weight, height, waist circumference, blood
pressure and BMI are taken. Once the labs are processed, this information is relayed to
the Health Advocates to follow-up with the member. This service is currently provided by
Quest Diagnostics.
• The member meets with a Health Advocate to discuss the results of the tests,
measurements and reports. This service is provided locally in person by Community
Health Partners (CHP) to those employees categorized with multiple health risks. The
participants identified at high risk or with Diabetes also meet with the Wellness
Educators. CHP and the Wellness Team will continue to provide this service and will
coordinate efforts with the clinics.
• Participate in programs that are provided by CHP and CCG's Wellness Manager which
includes:
A-4
(I)
Packet Page-2306-

o Programs include disease management programs offered by CHP for Gastric Bypass n
Nutrition Program.
o Case management services for patients who have acute health episodes that result in
significant expenses
o Structured programs developed and coordinated by the CCG's Wellness Programs
Manager.
3. CLINIC OPTIONS-BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS
This Agreement provides for four (4) clinic options. Option 4 is not anticipated at this time,
but may be considered for implementation in the future.These options are:
Option 1:Current Clinic-The current clinic services.
Option 2: Expanded Model - The current clinic service model (Option 1) expanded to
provide all biometric screening and measurement services for the Invest in Your Health
Program;to provide specific services testing services to the Environmental Health and Safety
(EHS) program; and to provide limited Workers' Compensation care.
Option 3: Medical Home Model - Under this model, the Provider is responsible for all
services included in the Expanded Model (Option 2); however, services are expanded to n
include the oversight of the clinical and health support and management components of the
County's Invest in Your Health Program. Currently, the CCG has a biometric testing program
coordinated through Quest Labs whereby employees and spouses have blood drawn for
specific lab panels; blood pressure taken and recorded; and height, weight and waist
circumference measured and recorded. This occurs on a rotating basis where employees are
done in one (1) year and then spouses in the next. Data collected is provided to Community
Health Partners (CHP) who then uses this information to deliver a personal wellness report
and to provide one on one health coaching services and referral. Under this model, the clinic
shall become the "hub" or "quarterback" for managing the program and assuring that
members receive the appropriate follow up services needed to meet the requirements of the
Invest in Your Health Program. The quarterback shall also be responsible for assuring that the
one percent (1%) of the population who experience a catastrophic health event and the four
to five percent (4-5%) of the population who present with chronic health conditions are
regularly monitored so they receive the right care, are channeled to appropriate resources,
follow physician instructions, manage their condition and achieve an optimal outcome in
managing their condition(s). These two (2) groups are responsible for approximately sixty
percent(60%) of the cost of the health plan on an ongoing basis.
Option 4: Primary Care Model - Under this model, the clinic shall provide all of the services
included in the Expanded and Medical Home models (Options 2 and 3) but is expanded to
become the single source for primary care services. All primary care services to the
population covered under the health plan will be exclusively serviced through the clinic. The
A-5
Packet Page-2307- '�
•
9/9/2014 16.E.7.
CCG understands that the implementation of this model will require the relocation of the
current main clinic to a larger site.
The focus of these optional models is to evolve the current service model by working in
tandem with CCG, Community Health Partners (the County's Managed Care and Health
Advocacy Provider) and Willis to explore innovative ways to help lower medical cost trends,
raise health awareness and improve the health of the employee population. If the CCG
decides to pursue the Expanded, Medical Home Model or the Primary Care Model (at a later
date), the on-site clinic will evolve to become the main focal point in the effort to promote
regular screening to detect disease,promote prevention and support the efficient treatment of
disease and chronic conditions.

Page 3 of 9
Packet Page-2327-
9/9/2014 16.E.7.
provide such individual with a copy of the information contained in such Electronic Health Record in an
electronic format and, if the Individual so chooses, transmit such copy directly to an entity or person
designated by the Individual. Business Associate may charge a fee to the individual for providing a copy
of such information, but such fee may not exceed Business Associate's labor costs in responding to the
request for the copy. The provisions of 45 CFR § 164.524, including the exceptions to the requirement to
provide a copy of PHI, shall otherwise apply and Business Associate shall comply therewith as if
Business Associate were the "covered entity," as such term is defined in HIPAA. At Covered Entity's
request, Business Associate shall provide Covered Entity with a copy of an Individual's PHI maintained
in an Electronic Health Record in an electronic format and in a time and manner designated by Covered
Entity in order for Covered Entity to comply with 45 CFR§ 164.524,as amended by the HITECH Act.
c. Amendment of PHI.Business Associate agrees to make any amendment(s)to PHI

include any disclosures that were made prior to the compliance date of the HIPAA Regulations. Business
Associate shall provide such information as is necessary to provide an accounting within ten(10)days of
Covered Entity's request. Such accounting must he provided without cost to the Individual or to Covered
Entity if it is the first accounting requested by an Individual within any six(6)month period; however, a
reasonable, cost-based fee may be charged for subsequent accountings during that period if Business
Associate informs Covered Entity and Covered Entity informs the Individual in advance of the fee, the
Individual is afforded an opportunity to withdraw or modify the request and charging such fee is not
otherwise contrary to law. Such accounting obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement and
shall continue as long as Business Associate maintains PHI.

Section 5.e shall be effective on the date specified in the HITECH Act.If Business Associate is deemed to

7. Governmental Access to Records. Business Associate shall make its internal practices, books
and records relating to the Use and Disclosure of PHI available to the Secretary for purposes of
determining Covered Entity's compliance with the HIPAA Regulations and the HITECH Act. Except to

end such violation, if possible. If such steps are either not possible or are unsuccessful, upon written
notice to Business Associate,Covered Entity may terminate its relationship with Business Associate.
