Delaware’s Department of Insurance is pleased to announce that it is actively recruiting for a qualified independent contractor to staff and run its new Office of Value-Based Health Care Delivery. The Office will assist the Insurance Commissioner and Delaware’s Primary Care Reform Collaborative in evaluating primary care accessibility and affordability statewide.

“Reducing health care costs in Delaware is a key priority of my administration,” said Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro. “The team leading our Office of Value-Based Health Care Delivery needs to possess a high level of expertise in health care transformation and innovation. Together with the Primary Care Reform Collaborative, we intend to identify quantitative tools that will help increase the availability of high quality, cost-efficient health insurance products that have stable, predictable, and affordable rates.”

Earlier this year, members of the General Assembly passed Senate Substitute 1 for Senate Bill No. 116, in order to create the Office. The Office was a recommendation of the Primary Care Reform Collaborative, which is tasked with evaluating the high costs of care in Delaware. In the months since passage, the Collaborative has been working hard to develop recommendations to strengthen Delaware’s primary care system.

“The legislature’s consideration of pro-consumer bills has allowed us to continue to foster an environment where residents are prioritized over profits,” said Leslie W. Ledogar, Esq, the Commissioner’s representative within the working group. “The Office of Value-Based Health Care Delivery epitomizes that vision, and we are grateful for everyone who spent time working on this effort.”

The Request for Proposal may be downloaded from the Office of Management and Budget website. Applicant questions should be directed to the Department’s Regulatory Specialist Leslie W. Ledogar, Esq.
