RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-116-3 with Professional Healthcare at Home, LLC (dba Kindred Hospice/Kindred at Home), a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $375,000, 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 $375,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II allocations. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized home health care 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. This contractor has been a part of the CCHP Provider Network since September 1, 2017.

On August 6, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #77-116-2 in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 for the provision of home health care and hospice services including, but not limited to, physical and speech therapy, home health aides, medical social services and social worker services, for the period September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2021.

Approval of Contract #77-116-3 will allow this contractor to continue to provide home health care and hospice services for CCHP members through August 31, 2024. Due to an administrative oversight the Department did not submit Board authorization for this contract in a timely manner. The Department requests a retroactive effective date to prevent a break in service.

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.
