DATE: December 4, 1989 Costa
County
SUBJECT; Approval of Contract 426-163-2 with County of Solano
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County , Standard Contract 426-163-2 with County of Solano for
the period July 1 , 1989 - June 30 , 1990 in the amount of $10 ,000
for provision of obstetrical services for patients receiving
perinatal services through the. Solano County Department of
Public Health .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
The County will be billing Medi-Cal for physician services pro-
vided under this Contract and will reimburse Solano County for
their clinical and support staff up to a maximum of $ 10 ,000 .
However , Medi-Cal reimbursement for care of Solano patients off-
sets the payment to Solano County.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
On June 21 , 1988 , the Board approved Contract 426-163-1 with
Solano County to continue a cooperative perinatal program for
Solano County patients . Approval of Contract 426-163-2 will
continue this program for another year .
Since Solano County does not have a county hospital , prior to
establishment of this program, low income women did not
generally have easy access to prenatal care and to labor and
delivery services ; therefore , women often did not seek medical
care as early as they should . Under this program, the two coun-
ties have jointly staffed a perinatal clinic in Vallejo for
Medi-Cal and Medi-Cal eligible Solano County clients , who then
travel to Merrithew Memorial Hospital for labor and delivery
services .
Merrithew Memorial Hospital provides the medical staff , clinic
supplies , and patient billing services for the perinatal clinic
in Vallejo . Solano County provides necessary support staff and
examination room space . This contract reimburses Solano County
for the use of their support staff during clinic operations .
