RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #77-484-1, with Kristen Wortman Psychology, PC (dba Next Steps Neuropsychology), a corporation, effective May 1, 2023, to amend Contract #77-484, to increase the payment limit by $150,000, from $150,000 to a new payment limit of $300,000, with no change in the original term of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional expenditures of up to $150,000 and will be funded as budgeted by the Department by 100% CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues. This contract amendment includes additional rates.

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized behavioral health services-therapy, for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been a part of the CCHP Provider Network since August 1, 2022.

In July, 2022, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #77-484 with Kristen Wortman Psychology, PC (dba Next Steps Neuropsychology), in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the provision of neuropsychological testing services for CCHP members, for the period August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2024.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #77-484-1 will allow this contractor to provide additional behavioral health and therapy services for CCHP members through July 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, this contractor will not provide additional behavioral health and therapy services to CCHP members, which may result in treatment service delays for members.
