procedures, and on-call coverage for the General and Obstetrics units at Contra Costa Regional Medical and Health
Centers (CCRMC), for the period from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016.
At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the County
requested, and the Contractor agreed to increase his day and night OB On-Call shifts, thereby increasing the
workload and accommodating an increase to the Contract payment limit.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-642-10 will allow the Contractor to provide additional
professional anesthesiology services through September 30, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, patients requiring professional anesthesiology services will not have access to
Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the overall levels of service to the community.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
