RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of County Contract #77-110-3 with Ace Home Health Care & Hospice, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $225,000, to provide home health care and hospice services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members, for the period September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $225,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized home health care and hospice services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. Members are provided with applicable services when authorized by CCHP, including, but not limited to physical and speech therapy, home health aides, medical social services and social worker services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 2019, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed #77-110-2 with Ace Home Health Care & Hospice, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for the provision of home health care and hospice services for CCHP members for the period September 1, 2019 Through August 31, 2021.

Approval of Contract #77-110-3 will allow the contractor to continue to provide home health care and hospice services through August 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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