The California Department of Consumer Affairs is seeking qualified external auditors to conduct an independent review of Premier Health Group, LLC’s monitoring services for licensees in recovery from substance abuse through the Healing Arts Boards. This audit is mandated by Senate Bill 1441 and must comply with the Uniform Standards Regarding Substance Abusing Licensees, specifically Standard 15, which requires an independent audit at least once every three years by a party with no real or apparent conflict of interest, not affiliated with the Department or the vendor. The auditor must be proficient in internal auditing and assessment procedures and must evaluate Premier’s adherence to all 16 Uniform Standards, focusing on program compliance, contract fulfillment, and the effectiveness of licensee monitoring. The audit will assess operational strengths and weaknesses, identify areas for improvement, and ensure public safety remains the top priority in the recovery programs administered by the eight Healing Arts Boards under the Department’s oversight. The selected auditor will collaborate closely with the Department of Consumer Affairs, its Internal Audit Office, and the individual Healing Arts Boards to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of Premier’s activities. The scope includes reviewing how Premier implements monitoring protocols, tracks licensee progress, ensures regulatory compliance, and upholds the integrity of the recovery programs. The audit must be performed by an independent third party entirely separate from the Department and Premier, with no prior contractual, financial, or operational ties to either entity. The solicitation, RFP IAO-26-01, has a response deadline of September 1, 2026, and is issued under California’s procurement system with Jennifer Martineau as the primary point of contact. The audit outcome will serve to validate the effectiveness and accountability of the vendor-managed recovery initiatives and reinforce compliance with state law governing the treatment and monitoring of substance-abusing licensees.

Full Description

Show more
The Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA or Department) invites proposals to provide audit assurance (Auditor) services to ensure that the programs operated by the Department's healing arts licensing boards for the monitoring and recovery of licensees with substance abuse issues comply with the Department's Uniform Standards Regarding Substance Abusing Licensees (Uniform Standards). (See Business and Professions Code section 315, et seq.; also see Senate Bill (SB) 1441 (Ridley-Thomas, Chapter 548, Statutes of 2008) (hereinafter referred to as SB 1441).) The healing arts licensing boards that operate such substance abuse recovery programs (also known as intervention programs, diversion program, wellness programs, etc.) include the Dental Board of California, the Board of Registered Nursing, the Physical Therapy Board of California, the Physician Assistant Board, the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, the California State Board of Pharmacy, the Veterinary Medical Board of California, and the Dental Hygiene Board of California (collectively hereinafter referred to as Healing Arts Boards). The purpose of SB 1441 is to ensure that public safety remains the paramount mission of the Healing Arts Boards within the DCA when dealing with licensees suffering from drug or alcohol abuse or dependency problems. Pursuant to SB 1441, 16 standards were identified and set forth in the Uniform Standards, which must be implemented by the Healing Arts Boards to ensure a comprehensive substance abuse recovery program. The purpose of this proposal is to comply with Uniform Standard 15 which mandates that if the Healing Arts Boards use a private-sector vendor to provide monitoring services for their licensees, an external independent audit must be conducted at least once every three (3) years by a qualified, independent reviewer or review team from outside the department with no real or apparent conflict of interest with the vendor providing the monitoring services. In addition, the reviewer should not be a part of or under the control of the DCA. The independent reviewer or review team must consist of individuals who are competent in the professional practice of internal auditing and assessment processes and qualified to perform audits of monitoring programs. The audit must assess the private-sector vendor's performance in adhering to the SB 1441 Uniform Standards 1-16 established by the Healing Arts Boards within the DCA. The DCA and the Healing Arts Boards have contracted with a third-party vendor, Premier Health Group, LLC (Premier), for services in connection with Boards¿ recovery programs via Department of General Services (DGS)-executed contract 110812. Therefore, this proposal is to obtain Audit Assurance Services which may include, but not be limited to, the following: 1. An audit to evaluate and identify Premier's monitoring activities to identify the strengths and weaknesses of current operations and make recommendations for improvement where appropriate. 2. The Auditor shall monitor and evaluate Premier's monitoring efforts with specific concentration on compliance with the approved contract, Uniform Standards, and monitoring of licensees required to participate in a monitoring program. The selected Proposer will work with the DCA, DCA Internal Audit Office (IAO) and Healing Arts Boards in the performance of the audit of Premier to ensure compliance with the recovery program requirements and Uniform Standards 1-16 which are discussed in more detail in Article XIII., Scope of Project, of this proposal.
