RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County as follows:


1. Cancellation Agreement #76-524-15 with Samir B. Shah, M.D., Inc., A Professional Corporation, effective on the close of business on March 31, 2020; and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

2. Contract #76-524-16 in the amount of $2,172,000 with Samir B. Shah, M.D., Inc., A Professional Corporation, for the period from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2023, for the provision of ophthalmology surgical services, and for performing duties of the Chief Medical Officer of Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is 100% funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. Year two and year three provide for a 3% rate increase.

BACKGROUND:

On April 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-524-14 with Samir B. Shah, M.D., Inc., for the period from May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2021, for the provision of ophthalmology services including consultation, clinic coverage, training, and medical and/or surgical procedures, and upon request acting as Department Head and Section Chief of the assigned medical unit and duties of the Chief Medical Officer at CCRMC and Health Centers.

The Department and the Contractor have renegotiated the Contract terms to allow the Contractor to continue to serve as Chief Medical Officer of the CCRMC and Health Centers. Therefore, in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5. (Termination and Cancellation) of the Contract, the Department and Contractor have agreed to cancel Contract #76-524-14 and enter into a new Contract.

Approval of Contract #76-524-16 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide ophthalmology services, at CCRMC and Health Centers, and the duties of the Chief Medical Officer of CCRMC, through March 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to Contractor’s services, which will result in a reduction in the overall level of services to the community.
