RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74-419-3 with William E. Berlingieri, M.D., a self-employed individual, in an amount not to exceed $313,600, to provide professional outpatient psychiatric services in West County, 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 that are not otherwise available.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 8, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-419-2 with William E. Berlingieri, M.D, for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, for the provision of professional outpatient psychiatric services to mentally ill adults in West County.

Approval of Contract #74-419-3 will allow Contractor to continue providing professional outpatient psychiatric services through December 31, 2014.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
