RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Board action of June 22, 2021 (C.115), which pertained to a contract with Epic Care; and APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute #26-684-8 with Epic Care, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,300,000 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:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $2,300,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise I Fund 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 county’s population by providing oncology services at CCRMC and Health Centers.

On June 22, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-684-8 with Epic Care in an amount not to exceed $1,570,000, to provide oncology services at CCRMC and Health Centers for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. This correction has been requested by the Division so the payment limit could be increased from $1,570,000 to a new payment limit of $2,300,000 due to projections from prior utilization.

Approval of Contract #26-684-8 will allow the contractor to continue providing oncology services at the corrected payment limit through June 30, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the recommendation is not approved, the prior incorrect Board action will stand and the department will not have Board authorization to allow for the correct payment limit of $2,300,000.
