Overview
Mission
The California health care coalition is a membership organization of private and public sector employers, unions, and health & welfare trust funds determined to improve healthcare quality, save lives, and control costs without losing benefits.
What it reported doing in 2025
The chcc continued its efforts to provide education to its membership on concepts for improvement in terms of quality and appropriateness of care, and methods for lowering costs. The chcc gathered information to provide this education in the following manner: - maintained a seat on the cal hospital compare (formally chart) board of directors which develops quality measurements for rating and comparing California hospital services. - participation in various statewide and national stakeholder efforts for cost transparency and payor engagement, including the California hcai all payor claims database initiative to aggregate health care data to create an actionable resource for California health care purchasers; the national alliance of healthcare purchaser coalitions to share best practice information across national payor leaders; the California purchasers co-operative to engage accessing industry-leading publications and information sharing. Chcc completed a eugene Washington pcori engagement award program grant. The grant's overall goal is to "expand availability of effective mental health services by incorporating pcor/cer in the health benefits purchasing process. Objectives were: 1. Develop an understanding of pcor/cer fundamentals ; introduce pcor/cer findings in mental health. 2. Establish a shared analysis of current state of mental health services. 3. Draft framework incorporating opportunities to promote pcor/cer in health benefits purchasing 4. Expand coalition's pcor/cer capacity through relationships with researchers, other purchasers, patient advocates, and clinical leaders. Use learnings from pcor/cer curriculum and engagement activities in meetings with clinical leaders.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
