Subject:Cancellation Agreement #26-604-6 and Contract #26-604-7 with Michael Gynn, M.D.
BACKGROUND:
On December 14, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-604-4 (as
amended by #26-604-5) with Michael Gynn, M.D., to provide general surgery services
including consultation, training, on-call, medical and/or surgical procedures, for patients at
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period
from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012.
In consideration of Contractor’s agreement to continue providing services, both parties have
agreed to decrease the surgical procedure rate. Therefore, in accordance with General
Conditions, Paragraph 5. (Termination and Cancellation) of the Contract, the Department
and Contractor have agreed to a mutual cancellation of Contract #26-604-4 (as amended by
#26-604-5). Approval of Cancellation Agreement #26-604-6 will accomplish this
termination.
Under Contract #26-604-7, Contractor will provide professional general surgery services,
including, clinic coverage, consultation, training and medical and/or surgical procedures,
through December 31, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, this physician would continue to be reimbursed at the
higher surgical procedure rate. This rate is being reduced to reflect current industry
compensation and the County’s budgetary requirements.

Not applicable.
