RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-438-4 with Vasanta Venkat Giri, M.D., a self-employed individual, effective November 1, 2013, to amend Contract #74-438-2 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-438-3), to increase the payment limit by $77,680, from $189,360 to a new payment limit of $267,040, with no change in the original term of February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

In April, 2013 the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #74-438-2, (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-438-3) with Vasanta Venkat Giri, M.D., for the period from February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014 for the provision of professional psychiatric services, including assessment treatment, and medication management.

At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. At the request of the County, the Contractor agreed to provide additional services to participating patients enrolled in the Clinic for Autism Spectrum and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Diagnostics programs.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-438-4 will allow the Contractor to provide additional hours of professional psychiatric services through January 31, 2014.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to Contractor’s professional psychiatric services, reducing overall levels of service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
