By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator CoS+a
DATE: August 25, 1993 County
SUBJECT: Approval. of +Contract Amendment Agreement #26-905-3 with
Howard Sturtz, 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, Contract
Amendment Agreement #26-905-3 , effective July 1, 1993, to amend
Medical Specialist Contract #26-905-2 with Howard Sturtz, M.D.
(Specialty: Orthopedics) , to increase the contract payment limit from
$90, 000 to a new total payment limit of $100, 656.
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.
On June 15, 1993, the Board of Supervisors approved Medical Specialist
Contract #26-905-2 with Howard Sturtz for the period from July 1, 1993
through June 30, 1994, for professional orthopedics services at
Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics.
The Department has lost one orthopedist due to non-renewal of a
contract, and another orthopedist's services have been reduced to
outpatient services only. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement
#26-905-3 will allow Dr. Sturtz to increase his workload and on-call
responsibilities to compensate for these losses.
