William Walker, M.D. , Health Services Director
FROM: By: Ginger Marieiro, Contracts Administrator f / Contra
Costa
DATE: August 2, 2000 County
SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Healthcare Financial Staffing
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)S BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Ratify the purchase of services from Healthcare Financial Staffing through May
31, 2000,• and authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay the
$69,327.00 outstanding balance for temporary admitting, billing and collections
personnel.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract was included in the Health Services Department's Budget, funded
by County/Realignment.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS BACKGROUND:
On July 15, 1999, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-327-3 (as
amended) , with Healthcare Financial Staffing, for the period from June 1, 1999
through May 31, 2000, to provide temporary admitting, billing, and collection
professionals to provide coverage for the registration desk at Contra Costa
Regional Medical Center and for the Department's Patient Accounting and Contra
Costa Health Plan divisions.
Due to an administrative oversight by the County and Contractor and due to the
higher anticipated need for Contractor's temporary personnel of which services
were requested by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith,
use of the Contractor's services exceeded the authorized limits.
Services were requested and provided beyond the payment limit and by the end
of May 31, 2000, charges had been incurred in excess of the Contract Payment
Limit, of which $69,327.00 remains outstanding.
The Department is requesting that the amount due to the Contractor be paid.
This can be accomplished by the Board of Supervisors ratifying the actions of
the County employees in obtaining provision of services of a value in excess
of the contract payment limit. This will create a valid obligation on the part
of the County, retroactively authorizing all payments made by the Auditor-
Controller up to now, and authorizing payment of the balance.
