RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #27-779-7 with Northern California Cornea Associates, Inc., a corporation, effective December 1, 2021, to amend Contract #27-779-6, to increase the payment limit by $150,000 from $300,000 to a new payment limit of $450,000 with no change in the original term of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional contractual service expenditures of up to $150,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) Enterprise Fund II revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized health care services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been a part of the CCHP Provider Network providing ophthalmology and optometry services since 2009.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 20, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #27-779-6 with Northern California Cornea Associates, Inc., in the amount of $300,000 to provide ophthalmology and optometry services for CCHP members and County recipients for the period from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #27-779-7 will increase the payment limit and allow the contractor to continue providing ophthalmology and optometry services with modified rates, helping the provider meet the Department of Health Care Services network adequacy standards through March 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, certain specialized health care services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided.
