RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-654-10 with Bay Area Tumor Institute, a non-profit corporation, effective April 1, 2015, to amend Contract #26-654-9, to increase the payment limit by $750,000, from $650,000 to a new payment limit of $1,400,000, with no change in the original term of August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a contingency fee contract Amendment. Contractor receives a percentage of the amount it collects on behalf of the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not be able to provide additional pharmaceutical drug recovery services on behalf of the Department.

BACKGROUND:

On September 9, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-654-9 with Bay Area Tumor Institute, for the period from August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015, for the provision of pharmaceutical drug recovery reimbursement services of products provided to indigent or unfunded patients.

Due to an increase in patient Anti-Cancer/Hepatitis C Treatment Drugs, higher than expected, the County requested and the Contractor agreed to provide additional reimbursement services.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-654-10 will allow the Contractor to be paid for providing additional pharmaceutical drug recovery services, through July 31, 2015.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
