RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #26-684-8 with Epic Care, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,570,000, to provide oncology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,570,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Health Centers rely on contracts to provide necessary specialty health services to their patients. CCRMC has contracted with Epic Care, for oncology services since November 1, 2010.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing oncology services at CCRMC and Health Centers.

On June 12, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-684-7 with East Bay Medical Oncology/Hematology Medical Associates, Inc. (dba Epic Care) now known as Epic Care, in an amount not to exceed $2,311,400, to provide oncology and hematology services at CCRMC and Health Centers for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #26-684-8 will allow this contractor to continue providing oncology services through June 30, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, this contractor will not be able to provide oncology services to CCRMC patients.
