RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-395-19 with LocumTenens.com, LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, to provide temporary physician services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from March 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Health Service Department Enterprise Fund I. As appropriate, patient and/or third-party payors will be billed for services. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

For a number of years, the County has contracted with registries to provide temporary qualified physicians to work as temporary physicians to ensure appropriate medical physician and inpatient psychiatry staff coverage at CCRMC. On March 25, 2014 the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-395-16 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-395-17) with LocumTenens.com, LLC for the provision of temporary physician services CCRMC for the period from March 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015. Approval of Contract #26-395-19 will allow Contractor to continue providing temporary physician services at CCRMC through February 29, 2016. This contract contains modifications to Paragraph 18. (Indemnification) of the General Conditions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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