Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract
Amendment Agreement #26-769-1 with Bryan Ristow, M.D., a self-employed individual, effective April 1, 2015, to
amend Contract #26-769, to increase the payment limit by $50,000, from $1,455,000 to a new payment limit of
$1,505,000, with no change in the original term of June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This amendment is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)
BACKGROUND:
On June 3, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-769 with Bryan Ristow, M.D. for the provision of
cardiology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the
period from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2017. At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target
levels of utilization. However, the utili-zation during the term of the agreement has been higher than originally
anticipated. County requested and Contractor agreed to increase his level of services due to staff reduction in the
Cardiology Unit. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-769-1 will allow the Contractor to provide
additional cardiology services at CCRMC through May 31, 2017.
