RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-355-17 with Lisa Wang, M.D, an individual, in an amount not to exceed $254,655, to provide outpatient psychiatric services to county patients in West County for the period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $254,655 and will be funded as budgeted by the department in FY 2023-24, by 100% Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing psychiatric services for mentally ill adults in West County. Dr. Wang has been providing psychiatric services for mentally ill patients in West County since July 1, 2009.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On May 17, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-355-14 with Lisa Wang, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $230,631, to provide outpatient psychiatric services, including diagnosing, counseling, and evaluating, and providing medical and therapeutic treatment for County patients in West County, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

On June 21, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement #74-355-16 with Lisa Wang, M.D., effective September 1, 2022, to increase the payment limit by $18,850 to a new payment limit of $249,480 to provide additional mental health services in West County through June 30, 2023.

Approval of Contract #74-355-17 will allow this contractor to continue providing outpatient psychiatric services through June 30, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients in West County requiring outpatient psychiatric services will not have access to contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in levels of service to the community.
