Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee

Services Contract #29-299-10 with Planned Parenthood, for the period
from July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996, for the provision of
laboratory culture testing services by the County's Public Health
Laboratory.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The County bills the Agency for laboratory culture tests
performed by the Public Health Laboratory at the request of Planned
Parenthood, with a fee_ of $2 . 00 per gonococcus culture, $4 . 00 per
chlamydia culture, and $1.50 per HIV antibody test. These fees
reimburse the County for the cost of each laboratory test performed.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Since 1984, Planned Parenthood has contracted with the County for
laboratory tests, paying a set fee per test and providing the County
with a Medi-Cal sticker for each Medi-Cal eligible client for whom a
laboratory test is performed. The County bills Medi-Cal clients'
tests to Medi-Cal through its billing process.
The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) program services provided by
Planned Parenthood under this Agreement are a valuable adjunct to the
County's STD efforts and form an integral part of the County's
response to the epidemic of STD.
