RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #26-792-9 with Edward Y. Tang M.D., Inc., a professional corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,410,000, to provide orthopedic services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,410,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers relies on contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. CCRMC has contracted with Edward Y. Tang M.D., Inc. for orthopedic specialty services since March 2015.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On February 4, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-792-7 with Edward Y. Tang, M.D. Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,230,000, for the provision of orthopedic services including, consultation, training, on-call coverage and medical/surgical procedures, at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2023.

On February 28, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Extension Agreement #26-792-8, effective February 15, 2023, to extend the termination date from February 28, 2023 to March 31, 2023, with no change in the original payment limit of $1,230,000.

Approval of Contract #26-792-9 will allow the contractor to continue providing orthopedic services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, through March 31, 2026.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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