RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2015/371 approving the Side Letter between Contra Costa County and the Physician and Dentists Organization of Contra Costa (PDOCC), adding Dentists to receive Fall Back Pay Differential as outlined in amended Sections 6.2.D, 6.3.D, and 6.7 of the current Memorandum of Understanding (October 1, 2008 – October 31, 2016). In addition, Exhibit B of the MOU is applicable to dentists.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The clinics generate FQHC reimbursement and therefore will have a net positive fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
A physician is eligible for Fall Back differential pay for hours a physician works in excess of his/her designated weekly or monthly position hours in an extended hours’ clinic. Extended hours clinics are clinics organized to meet peak patient demands Monday through Saturday. Dental is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) covered service and Health Services cannot keep up with demand as our waiting lists exceed 90 days.
