Pursuant to section 1399.870 of the Health and Safety Code, the Committee is comprised of 17 voting <a href=\"https:\/\/perma.cc\/9DNQ-2LHF\">members<\/a>, including consumer representatives, experts, researchers, and community members who are engaged in the development of alternative approaches to measuring health equity, consumer experience, and health outcomes, and five ex officio representatives from DMHC, Covered California, California Department of Insurance, California Public Employees Retirement System, and the California Department of Healthcare Access and Information. It must submit its final recommendations to the DMHC Director by September 30, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>DMHC will establish standards for health plans to comply with starting in 2023 and DMHC may assess administrative penalties relating to health plan data collection, reporting, and corrective action implementation or monitoring requirements. The standard measures and annual benchmarks shall sunset every five years at most and may be continued as long as DMHC conducts a public assessment at least one year before sunset. In 2025, DMHC will publish the first annual Health Equity Quality Compliance Report and may begin assessing administrative penalties for failure to meet the health equity and quality benchmarks. It is anticipated that the measures and benchmarks will be codified in regulation by 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The next Committee meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 20, 2022, in Sacramento, California, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPILUSD\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/circle\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cpilusd\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/cpil-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/circle\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Hunter W.
