RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #26-975-15 with Mark Van Handel, M.D., an individual, effective May 1, 2023, to amend Contract #26-975-14, to increase the payment limit by $190,000, from $1,475,000 to a new payment limit of $1,665,000, for additional neurology services with no change in the term of June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional annual expenditures of up to $190,000 and will be funded as budgeted 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. The amendment does not include a rate increase.

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers rely on contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to their patients. CCRMC has contracted with Mark Van Handel, M.D., for neurology services since July 1, 2000.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On May 18, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-975-14 with Mark Van Handel, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $1,475,000, to provide neurology services at CCRMC, for the period June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-975-15 will allow the contractor to provide additional neurology services through May 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the necessary specialty neurology services needed for patient care will not be available or will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
