RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-605-3 with First Choice Anesthesia Consultants of Northern California PC, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $850,000, to provide anesthesia services for the period from March 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $850,000 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing anesthesia services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers for general surgery, obstetrics, intensive care and radiology units. This contractor has been providing services to the County since November 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 21, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-605-3 with First Choice Anesthesia Consultants of Northern California, PC, in an amount not to exceed $850,000 to provide anesthesia services at CCRMC and Health Centers for the period March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023.

Approval of Contract #76-605-4 will allow the contractor to continue providing anesthesia services through February 29, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary specialty anesthesiology services needed for patient care will not be available and will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
