RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE clarification of Board Action of October 5, 2021 (Item C.44), which authorized the Health Services Director to execute Contract #77-129-2 with Selena Ellis, M.D., to provide neurology electromyography (EMG) services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members in an amount not to exceed $240,000 and a term of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024, to correct the payment limit and reflect the intent of the parties in which the payment limit should read an amount not to exceed $360,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $360,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized health care services, including EMG services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been a part of the CCHP Provider Network since October 1, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In September 2019, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #77-129-1 with Selena Ellis, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $200,000 to provide EMG services to CCHP members for the period from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2021.

On October 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-129-2 with Selena Ellis, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $240,000 to provide EMG services to CCHP members, for the period October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.

The purpose of this board order is to correct an administrative error in the payment limit of $240,000, as stated the previous Board action, and clarify the payment limit of $360,000 as the contract payment limit amount negotiated by the parties and the department's requested authorization from the Board of Supervisors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this correction is not approved, CCHP members will not receive the benefits of EMG services from the contractor.
