CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized nephrology 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 and the patients in need immediate attention related to kidney health may suffer.
