RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #76-620-2 with Christian Eisert, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000, to provide otolaryngology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,200,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers rely on contracts to provide necessary specialty health services to their patients. This contractor’s otolaryngology services will include clinic coverage, on-call services, medical and surgical procedures and has been contracting with the County since October 2018.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 13, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-620-1 with Christian Eisert, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $800,000, to provide otolaryngology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #76-620-2 will allow the contractor to continue providing otolaryngology services through September 30, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary specialty otolaryngology services needed for patient care will not be available, resulting in increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
