TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Mark Finucane, Health Services Director Contra
By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator Costa
DATE: September 7, 1990 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Renewal Contract #267163-3
with County of Solano
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County, Renewal Contract
#26-163-3 with County of Solano in the amount of $10,000 for the period July 1, 1990
through June 30, 1991 for provision of obstetrical services for patients receiving
perinatal services through the Solano County Department of Public Health.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The County bills Medi-Cal for physician services provided under this Contract and
will reimburse Solano County for their clinical and support staff up to a maximum
of $10,000. However, Medi-Cal reimbursement for care of Solano patients offsets the
payment to Solano County.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On December 19, 1989, the Board approved Contract #26-163-2 with Solano County to
continue a cooperative perinatal program for Solano County patients. Approval of
Renewal Contract #26-163-2 will continue this program for another year.
Since Solano County does not have a county hospital, prior to establishment of this
program, low income women did not generally have easy access to prenatal care and
to labor and delivery services; therefore, women often did not seek medical care as
early as they should. Under this program, the two counties have jointly staffed a
perinatal clinic in Vallejo for Medi-Cal and Medi-Cal eligible Solano County clients,
who then travel to Merrithew Memorial Hospital for labor and delivery services.
Merrithew Memorial Hospital provides the medical staff, clinic supplies, and patient
billing services for the perinatal clinic in Vallejo. Solano County provides
necessary support staff and examination room space. This contract reimburses Solano
County for the use of their support staff during clinic operations.
