RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County Contract #27-703-7 with Susan Gutierrez, M.D., a sole proprietor, in an amount not to exceed $240,000, to provide pain management services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members and County recipients for the period December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $240,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues.

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized medical specialty health care services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor routinely treats patients who are wrestling with painful conditions such as: back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, neuropathy and more. This contractor has been part of the CCHP Provider Network providing pain management services since December 2007.  



BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
In February 2019, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #27-703-6 with Susan Gutierrez, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the provision of pain management services for CCHP members and County recipients for the period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2022.  
  
Approval of Contract #27-703-7 will allow the contractor to continue providing pain management services through November 30, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized pain management medical specialty services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contract with the County will not be provided. Without this contractor’s conservative approach to pain management, patients may become more reliant on pharmaceuticals and not achieve their desired recovery outcome.
