RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74–396-5 with George E. Hamilton, Jr., M.D., a self-employed individual, in an amount not to exceed $112,000 to provide outpatient psychiatric services for mentally ill adults in Central County, for the period from May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On April 9, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-396-3 with George E. Hamilton, Jr., M.D., for the period from May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2015 for the provision of outpatient psychiatric services for mentally ill adults in Central County.

Approval of Contract #74-396-5 will allow Contractor to continue providing outpatient psychiatric services through April 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring professional outpatient psychiatric services will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.
