RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-767-1 with Yu-Ming Chang, M.D., a sole proprietor, effective February 1, 2015, to amend Contract #26-767, to modify the Service Plan and Payment Provisions to include administrative duties at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC) with no change in the contract payment limit and no change in the original term of August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On June 3, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-767 with Yu-Ming Chang, M.D. for the provision of gastroenterology services at CCRMC, including but not limited to; clinic coverage, gastrointestinal laboratory sessions, consultation, training, on-call coverage, and medical and/or surgical procedures for the period from August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-767-1 will allow the Contractor to provide an additional level of services to include administrative duties as requested by the County through July 31, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients requiring additional gastroenterology services at CCRMC will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the overall levels of service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
