RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #77-412 with East Bay Integrated Care, Inc. (dba Hospice of the East Bay), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,950,000, to provide hospice and palliative services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members, for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,950,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II allocations.

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized hospice and palliative care services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. Members are provided with applicable services when authorized by CCHP, including, but not limited to: physician visits, registered nurse visits and social worker services. This contractor has been a part of the CCHP Provider Network for several years, formerly under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and required to convert to a County contract.

Under Contract #77-412, the contractor will provide hospice and palliative care services including, but not limited to, physician visits, registered nurse visits and social worker services for CCHP members, through December 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized hospice and palliative care services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided.
