FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded by Enterprise Fund I. Cost to the County depends upon utilization. As appropriate, patients and/or third party payors will be billed for services. (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.
On February 5, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-604-8 with Michael Gynn, M.D., to provide general surgery services including consultation, training, on-call, medical and/or surgical procedures, for patients at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
Approval of Contract #26-604-9 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide professional general surgery services, 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 general surgery services, which may result in a reduction in the overall levels of service to the community.
