RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #27-818-2 with Sassan Falsafi, M.D. (dba Lamorinda ENT, Face & Neck Surgery, Inc.), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $350,000, to provide otolaryngology services to Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Contra Costa Health Plan Enterprise Funds III. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Plan has an obligation to provide certain specialized professional health care services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. In December 2012, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #27-818-2 with Sassan Falsafi, M.D. (dba Lamorinda ENT, Face & Neck Surgery, Inc.), for the provision of professional Otolaryngology services for Contra Costa Health Plan member for the period from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2014.

Approval of Contract #27-818-2 will allow Contractor to continue providing professional Otolaryngology services to CCHP members through September 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Individual and Group Health Plan members requiring professional pediatric primary care will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the overall levels of service to the community.
