This set of notices from Covered California serves as a pre‑procurement step, inviting health‑plan and dental‑plan providers to submit a non‑binding Notice of Intent (NOI) outlining their planned participation in the 2016 Covered California exchange. The NOI is confidential and does not constitute a contract or financial commitment. Providers must submit the completed NOI form by the specified deadlines (Feb 16 2015 for general QHP/QDP participation; Mar 18 2015 for QDP recertification) via email to [email protected] and attend a series of training webinars (new‑entrant and recertifying applicant sessions). Full applications, including detailed product, pricing, and network information, are due by May 1 2015. No vendor has been awarded, and no contract value, term, or pricing structure is disclosed at this stage.
• Purpose: Gather preliminary information from prospective health and dental plan providers for the 2016 plan year.
• Process: Submit a confidential NOI by the deadline, attend webinars, then file a full application by May 1 2015.
• Scope: Participation in the state‑run health benefit exchange; no services or deliverables are defined beyond the intent to offer Qualified Health Plans or Qualified Dental Plans.
