RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Risk Manager to execute a contract with Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group (CCCSIG) in an amount not to exceed $198,500 to perform medical billing reviews for the period effective January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funded by the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group (CCCSIG) and the Contra Costa County Risk Management Division created a joint partnership public entities in 2003. This was so that CCCSIG could provide workers' compensation medical bill review services for Risk Management at lower annual review costs than the County's previous private provider. This contract allows the County to continue to receive the same services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not be able to maintain compliance of the California Department of Industrial Relations.
