SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to amend on behalf of the County, the rate sche-
dule specified in the Board Order approved by_the Board July 15, 1986, for Medical
Specialist Contract #26-875 with Paul H. Kwok, D.O., (medical specialty:
Anesthesiology) for the period August 1, 1986 - April 30, 1987. The amended rate
schedule is as follows:
a. $42.80 per hour of consultation and training services, or
b. $27.00 per RVS Unit for each medical procedure.
c. In addition, for on-call services:
(1) $500 per weekend on-call duty period,: or
(2) $150 per holiday on-call duty period; or
(3) $ -50 per weekday evening on-call duty period, or
(4) $100 per weekday on-call duty period.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the amended rate schedule will result in an increase from $25.00 to
$27.00 per RVS unit for each medical procedure performed by Dr. Kwok. Actual cost
to the County depends upon utilization. As appropriate, patients and/or third
party payers will be billed for services .
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For a number of years the County has contracted with Medical and Dental Specialists
to provide specialized professional services which are not otherwise available in
its hospital and clinics. On July 15, 1986, the Board approved Medical Specialist
Contract #26-875 with Paul H. Kwok, D.O., for anesthesiology services. The $27.00
RVS unit rate had originally been negotiated with Dr. Kwok but due to an adminis-
trative error was incorrectly specified as $25.00 in the rate schedule. The purpose
of this Board Order is to authorize the correct fee rate prior to final execution
of the contract by Dr. Kwok.
This Medical Specialist Contract is prepared in the standard format approved by
County Counsel's Office and has been submitted to Paul H. Kwok, D.O., for . signa-
ture. After signature by the contractor , the contract will be delivered to the
Clerk of the Board for signature by the Board Chairman.
