RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #27-814-6 with Credentals Services, Inc. (dba Verifpoint), a corporation, effective January 1, 2018, to amend Contract #27-814-5, to increase the payment limit by $20,000, from $80,000 to a new payment limit of $100,000, with no change in the original term of October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Contra Costa Health Plan Enterprise Fund II. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On October 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #27-814-5 with Credentals Services, Inc. (dba Verifpoint) for the provision of credentialing services, for the period from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #27-814-6 will allow the contractor to continue to provide credentialing and provider screening and enrollment services. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract, through September 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the County will not be credentialed and Contra Costa Health Plan would be at-risk for non-compliance with federal, state and contractual requirements, and could subject the County to potential sanctions, civil penalties and corrective action plans.
