RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-642-9 with Chiu-Hung Tung, M.D., Inc., a corporation, effective December 1, 2013, to amend Contract #26-642-8, to modify language in the payment provisions and service plan to reflect the intent of the parties with no change in payment limit of $1,425,000, nor the original term of October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On October 22, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-642-8 with Chiu-Hung Tung, M.D., Inc. for the provision of professional anesthesiology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016.

The County and the Contractor have agreed to modify the language in the service plan and the payment provisions to reflect a day and night shift, redefining the 24 hour shift to read as two 12 hour shifts, with no change in the payment limit or contract term.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-642-9 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide professional anesthesiology services at CCRMC through September 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients requiring professional anesthesiology services at will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the overall levels of service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
