RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-283-1 with Seven Bridges Speech Pathology, Inc. (dba Seven Bridges Therapy), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,800,000, to provide speech therapy services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members, for the period March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,800,000 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 speech pathology services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor is a member of the CCHP Provider Network since March 1, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In January 2020, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manger executed Contract #77-283 with Seven Bridges Speech Pathology, Inc. (dba Seven Bridges Therapy) in an amount not to exceed $150,000, for the provision of speech therapy services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2023.

Approval of Contract #77-283-1 will allow the contractor to continue providing speech therapy services for CCHP members through February 28, 2026. This contract request is for a higher payment amount since the Division is anticipating an increase in contract utilization due to more CCHP members requiring speech therapy services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized speech therapy 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, which may delay services to CCHP members.
