RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-308-1 with Shield-California Health Care Center, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $7,500,000, to provide Durable Medical Equipment (DME) services and enteral nutritional supplies to Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of $7,500,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized DME services and supplies for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the county. This contractor has been a CCHP Network Provider providing DME services and enteral nutritional supplies since October 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 20, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-308 with Shield-California Health Care Center, Inc., in an amount of $6,000,000, to provide DME services and enteral nutritional supplies to Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members, for the period November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2023.

Approval of Contract #77-308-1 will allow the contractor to continue providing DME services and enteral nutritional supplies for CCHP members for the period November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2026.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain durable medical equipment services and enteral nutritional supplies for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contract with the County will not be provided by this contractor and may cause delay in services to members.
