RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-279-1 with Blize Healthcare California Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $600,000, to provide home health care and hospice services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $600,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II allocations.

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized home health care and hospice services including, but not limited to: certified home health care aide, medical social worker visits, speech and physical therapy visits, continuous home care and respite care according to the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In April, 2020, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #77-279 with Blize Healthcare California Inc., in the amount of $200,000, for the provision of home health and hospice services for CCHP members for the period February 1, 2020 through January 31, 2022.

Approval of Contract #77-279-1 will allow the contractor to continue to provide home health care and hospice services for CCHP members through January 31, 2025. Delay in submitting this contract authorization is due to late document submittal by the contractor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized home health care and hospice services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided.
