By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator Cost
DATE: County
SUBJECT: February 14, 1.990
Approval of Veterans Amendment Agreement #26-023-42 with
Veterans Administration Medical Center
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Veterans Administration Amendment Agreement #26-023-42 (Veterans
Administration Number 612/90C) with Veterans Administration Medical
Center to amend Veterans Administration Contract #26-023-37 (as amended
by Amendment Agreements #26-023-38, #26-023-39, #26-023-40, and #26-
023-41) to extend the term of the Contract from December 31, 1989
through May 31, 1990; and to delete all references to a contract
payment limit and/or added monetary amounts in the Contract, as
amended, and in' the Board Orders authorizing this Contract and its
amendments.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This agreement is funded in the Health Services Department's Enterprise-
I Budget. Services under this agreement are requested by the County,
and provided by the Veterans Administration Medical Center, as needed,
and the Veterans:Administration is paid a fee for service in accordance
with the fee schedule incorporated in the agreement. There is no way
of accurately predicting the number of patients who will require the
services offered by the Veterans Administration under this agreement.
Therefore, this Amendment Agreement deletes all references to a
contract payment limit, in addition to extending the term of the
agreement. There. is no unit price increase included in this Amendment.
The services provided under the contract are billable to patients and
third party payors.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For many years, the County has maintained a contractual relationship
with the Martinez Veterans Administration Medical Center, through a
mutual sharing agreement, which has made available to the County
specialized medical services not available at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Ciinics due to lack of resources, equipment, and
personnel. At: the present time the Veterans Administration is
providing nuclear medicine studies, specialized laboratory tests, and
dermatology services. The Contract documents have always been prepared
by the Veterans Administration.
