RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #26-777-5 with Stephen Arnold, M.D., an individual, effective June 1, 2019, to amend Contract #26-777-3 (as amended by Amendment #26-777-4) to decrease the payment limit by $200,000, from $1,602,000 to a new payment limit of $1,402,000, with no change in the term of March 1, 2017 through February 29, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

On February 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-777-3 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #26-777-4) with Stephen Arnold, M.D., for the period from March 1, 2017 through February 29, 2020, for the provision of cardiology services including, but not limited to clinic coverage, consultation, inpatient sessions, training, on-call coverage, and reading cardiology studies at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-777-5 will decrease the payment limit by $200,000 to partially offset funding requirements for a new cardiologist who will begin providing services at CCRMC.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract amendment agreement is not approved, CCRMC will not have sufficient funding required to add an additional cardiologist.
