RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #26-752-6, with Denis J. Mahar, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $1,946,000, to provide cardiology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,946,000 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 Contra Costa Health Centers rely on contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to their patients. This contractor’s cardiology services will include clinic coverage, on-call services, medical and surgical procedures. The County has been contracting with Denis J. Mahar, M.D, since October 2013 to provide cardiology services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 22, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-752-5 with Denis Mahar, M.D, in an amount not to exceed $1,912,000, to provide cardiology services at CCRMC and Health Centers for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #26-752-6 will allow the contractor to continue providing cardiology services through September 30, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s patients will not have access to this contractor’s cardiology services.
