RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-792-2 with Edward Tang, M.D., an individual, effective January 1, 2016, to amend Contract #26-792 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-792-1) to increase the payment limit by $30,000 from $350,000 to a new payment limit of $380,000 and no change in the original term of March 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

On March 10, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-792 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-792-1) with Edward Tang, M.D. for the provision of orthopedic services at Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from March 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016. At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-792-2 will allow the Contractor to provide additional orthopedic services through February 29, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients requiring orthopedic services will not have access to the contractor’s services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
