ANNOTATION: Results from an audit of "processes to contract for health care services not currently available within its [the California Department of Corrections--(DCOC)] own facilities "are presented (p.ii). Two chapters follow an executive summary: processes used by the CDOC to solicit and negotiate contracts for medical services do not represent the State's best interest and recommendations to protect the State's interests; and prisons are not ensuring that they pay only appropriate and valid medical claims and recommendations to improve these lapses. Appendixes provide: the status of certain recommendations from the Bureau of State Audit's report issued in January 2000; prison staff responsible for negotiating medical service contract rates; agency responses to the audit; and comments to these responses.
