FROM: Mark Finucane, Health Services Director Contra
By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator Costa
DATE: County
SUBJECT: Approval- of Medical Specialist Contract #26-907 with
Laszlo Tamas, M.D.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee,
(Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) to execute on behalf of the County, Medical
Specialist Contract #26-907 with Laszlo Tamas, M.D. (Specialty:
Neurosurgery) for the period August 1, 1992 through July 31, 1995 to
be paid as follows:
$20, 834 per month, for continuous coverage (24 hours/day, 7
days/week) of neurosurgery services, for consultation and
training, NOT TO EXCEED A TOTAL CONTRACT PAYMENT LIMIT OF
$750,024 .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
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.
For the past five years, we have contracted with University of
California at Davis Medical School for the provision of neurosurgical
services. Dr. Tamas has been the neurosurgeon involved for the past
two years. With the closure of the VA Hospital, the medical school 's
involvement has changed. Dr. Tamas has agreed to contract directly
with us. This contract represents a saving of $10, 000 over the
contract with the medical school in the first year alone.
Under Contract #26-907 , Laszlo Tamas, M.D. will provide Neurosurgery
services for Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics through July 31,
1995.
