SUBJECT:
Retroactive Payment to Healthcare Financial Staffing
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S) :
Ratify purchase of services from Healthcare Financial Staffing, and
authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay the $24 , 761 . 53
outstanding balance for provision of temporary admitting, billing
and collection professionals .
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this Contract is included in the Health Services
Department budget .
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
On June 6, 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#26-327-5 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #26-327-6) ,
with Healthcare Financial Staffing (now known as Assignment Ready,
Inc . , (dba Healthcare Financial Staffing) , for the period from June
1, 2000 through May 31, 2001, for the provision of temporary
admitting, billing, and collection professionals to provide coverage
for the registration desk at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
Services were requested and provided beyond the payment limit and
by the end of May, 2001, charges of $274 , 761 . 53 had been incurred,
of which $250, 000 has been paid and $24 , 761 . 53 remains outstanding.
The services were both requested by County staff and provided by the
Contractor in good faith. Because of administrative oversight by
both the County and Contractor, use of the Contractor' s services
exceeded the authorized limits .
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 .
