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 #24-787-2 with Murray J. Krelstein,
M.D. , effective January 1, 1996, to increase the hourly rate

II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded by County/Realignment funds, off-set by
Medi-Cal, Medicare, private insurance and patient fee collections .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS BACKGROUND:
On September 12, 1995, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#24-787-1 with Murray J. Krelstein, M.D. , for the period from
October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996, for provision of
professional psychiatric services to County' s patients at the
Older Adults Clinic in Concord.
It was the intent of the parties that the Contractor receive the
same hourly rate of pay as the as the Department ' s other Geriatric
Psychiatrists . However, due to a mutual mistake of the County and
Contractor the payment rate was not accurately stated in the
Contract payment provisions .
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-787-2 will reform the
Contract to remedy the mutual mistake of the County and the
Contractor, and to accurately reflect the intent of the parties,
so that the Contractor can be properly reimbursed for psychiatric
services provided to County' s patients .
