The California Health Benefit Exchange board has decided it needs help with hiring top executives for the state's new Covered California health insurance exchange program.
The board has posted a request for proposals (RFPs) from executive services providers.
The board released the RFP today and wants to get proposals by June 21.
The board wants a search firm to help it find a marketing director; a health plan contracting director; a chief deputy of product development, sales and marketing; and a business intelligence director.
Covered California wants to fill the positions by Sept. 1, officials said.
"Covered California is keeping open the option of starting the recruitments all at once, or a staggered basis," officials said in the RFP. "Covered California reserves the right to retain the services of the organization resulting from this RFP to assist with other relative activities and related projects embarked upon by Covered California during the established contract period, or through a contract amendment."
A successful RFP bid must include a total contract amount for $200,000 or less, officials said.
