Request for Proposal
Self-funded Medical and Prescription Drug Programs

The SJVIA consultant, Keenan & Associates, is pleased to provide a Request for Proposal for the SJVIA’s self-funded medical and prescription drug programs:

  • Medical: Administrative Services Contract Only (ASC or ASO) or Third-Party Administration (TPA)

  • Medical: Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) network

  • Prescription Drug (Rx): Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM)

Please carefully review the RFP Outline for proposal parameters and timeline:

The SJVIA is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) providing medical/prescription drug, dental and vision coverage to employees and their eligible dependents for the County of Fresno and County of Tulare. The dental and vision coverage is not out to bid at this time.

The SJVIA offers fully insured medical coverage through Kaiser Permanente and self-funded medical coverage through Anthem Blue Cross. The Kaiser Permanente coverage is not out to bid at this time.

Prescription drug coverage under the self-funded plans is offered through EmpiRx for the EPO and PPO coverage. The HSA qualified HDHP PPO plans utilize Anthem’s IngenioRx for prescription drug coverage. It is the SJVIA’s preference to have one PBM administer the complete PBM program.
