RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Bryan Ristow, M.D., effective April 1, 2016, to increase the payment limit by $206,000 to a new payment limit of $1,711,000 to provide additional hours of cardiology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical and Health Centers, with no change in the original term of June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On June 3, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-769 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-769-1) with Bryan Ristow, M.D. for the provision of cardiology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC) for the period from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated. County requested and Contractor agreed to provide additional hours of cardiology services due to staff reduction in the Cardiology Unit.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-769-2 will allow the Contractor to provide additional hours of cardiology services at CCRMC through May 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients requiring cardiology services will not have access to Contractor’s services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
