RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #27-728-9 with Applied Health Corp., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $300,000, to provide chiropractic and acupuncture services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $300,000 over a two-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II.

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized health care services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been providing chiropractic and acupuncture services to CCHP members as part of the CCHP Provider Network since January 1, 2008.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In January 2021, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #27-728-7, with John Erdmann, DC, LAC, in an amount not to exceed $30,000, for the provision of chiropractic and acupuncture services for CCHP members for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2025.

In January 2023, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Cancellation Contract #27-728-8, effective January 31, 2023 by mutual agreement in order for the contractor formerly known as John Erdmann, DC, LAC, to renew a contract under the new name of Applied Health Corp., for the provision of chiropractic and acupuncture services for CCHP members for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2025.

Approval of Contract #27-728-9 will allow the contractor to continue providing chiropractic and acupuncture services to CCHP members through January 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized chiropractic and acupuncture 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 by this contractor and may delay services to CCHP members.
