RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-782-4 with Muhammad Raees, M.D., an individual, effective December 1, 2015, to amend Contract #26-782-3, to modify the payment provisions to increase pulmonary services with no increase in the contract payment limit of $200,000 and with no change in the original term of September 1, 2014 through August 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase due to additional pulmonary services provided, including pulmonary stress test)

BACKGROUND:

On September 15, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-782-3 with Muhammad Raees, M.D. for the provision of pulmonary services including but not limited to, clinic coverage, consultation, critical care, administrative services, meeting attendance, and training at Contra Costa Regional Medical and Health Centers (CCRMC) for the period from September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Division requested, and the Contractor agreed, to provide additional pulmonary procedures including, but not limited to pulmonary stress testing and bronchospasm evaluation, in response to an increase in patient care requests due to long wait lists, increasing wait times, and limited community resources for external referral.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the Contractor will not provide additional pulmonary services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
