RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #24-709 with Beatrice St. Claire, M.D., a self-employed individual, in an amount not to exceed $174,720, to provide professional outpatient psychiatric services at the Concord Adult Mental Health Clinic for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment, offset by third-party billing. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

For a number of years the County has contracted with Medical, Dental and Mental Health Specialists to provide specialized professional services, which are not otherwise available.

Under Contract #24-709 the Contractor will provide professional outpatient psychiatric services at the Concord Adult Mental Health Clinic through December 31, 2014.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to Contractor’s professional outpatient psychiatric services, which may result in a reduction in overall services to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
