period from May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, with modifications to the General Conditions from the standard
County format.
At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization
during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated. Approval of Contract Amendment/Extension
Agreement #23-312-9, will allow the Contractor to provide additional primary medical care services to low-income,
uninsured residents of Contra Costa County, through April 30, 2014.

If this amendment/extension is not approved, payment to Contractor for services will not be approved and patients
will experience longer wait times and potentially go untreated, due to reduced access to the medical services
provided at Contractor’s clinic.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
