SUBJECT; Approval of Extension of Medical Specialist Contracts
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Approve a three-month extension of the Medical/Dental Specialist
Contracts specified on the attached Addendum for the period
July 31 , 1987 through October 31 , 1987 , and authorize the
Auditor-Controller to continue paying the Contractors listed on
the attached Addendum as specified under the prior agreements
which are expiring July 31 , 1987 .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
Cost to the County depends upon utilization. As appropriate ,
patients and/or third party payers will be billed for services .
i
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
For a number of years the County ,has contracted with Dental and
Medical Specialists to provide specialized professional services
which are not otherwise available in its hospital and clinics .
The usual annual term of these contracts has been May 1 - April
30 , although contracts may be added or amended , as necessary,
throughout the year . On April 28 , 1987 , the Board approved
three-month contract extension agreements for the Medical and
Dental Specialists specified on the attached Addendum. These
extensions were necessary because discussions regarding malprac-
tice liability insurance issues had delayed negotiations with
the Medical and Dental Specialists .
Ongoing discussions involving these malpractice liability
insurance and indemnification issues are drawing to a close and
the purpose of this Board Order is to provide a mechanism which
will assure continuity of vital services to patients and facili-
tate payment to the Medical/Dental Specialists for three addi-
tional months pending completion of contract negotiations .
