outside clinical laboratory services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.
Certain laboratory tests require equipment not available at Contra Costa Regional Medical C'enter's
laboratory and are rarely requested tests. Because of the lame lllllllber and diversity of laboratory tests used
by the nl.edical conlJllunity to make diagnoses, most hospitals have to utilize outside laboratories, as it is too
cost prohibitive to provide all tests on site. Contra Costa County has Used the services of outside
laboratories for over twenty-five years.
Contract 4126-583 kvas not amended prior to the expiration due to late submission of demands and delays billinlr
Medicare prior to the Contractor demanding payment from the County. Approval of Contract Amendment
Agreement 4'26-583-1 will allow the Contractor to be paid for services provided through December 31, 2007.
