This Contract is funded by Enterprise I Budget. Cost to the County depends upon utilization. As appropriate, patients and/or third party payors will be billed for services.
On September 18, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-967-8 with Thomas J. McDonald, M.D., to provide Ophthalmology services including consultation, clinic coverage, training, on-call services, medical and/or surgical procedures, for patients at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2010.
In consideration of Contractor’s agreement to continue providing services, both parties have agreed to re-negotiate payment terms. This will allow the Contractor continue to be paid at the current rate and remove any previously negotiated increases for fiscal year 2009 through 2010. The Department and the Contractor have mutually agreed to renegotiate the Contract Payment Provisions and the term to reflect the intent of the parties. Therefore, in accordance with Special Conditions, Paragraph 2. (Modification to Termination and Cancellation) of the Contract, the Department and Contractor have agreed to a mutual cancellation of Contract #26-967-8. Approval of Cancellation Agreement #26-967-9 will accomplish this termination.
Under Contract #26-967-10, Contractor will provide professional Ophthalmology services, including, consultation, clinic coverage, training, on-call services, and medical and/or surgical procedures, through May 31, 2010.
