I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Laboratory Services Contract #29-299-6 with Planned Parenthood to
allow the County to bill the agency for laboratory culture tests
performed by the Public Health Laboratory at the request of Planned
Parenthood for the period July 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992 , with a
fee of $3 .50 per gonococcus culture and $6. 00 per chlamydia culture.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The fee reimburses the County for the cost of each laboratory
test performed.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Since 1984 Planned Parenthood has contracted with the County for
laboratory tests, paying a set fee per test and providing the County
with a Medi-Cal sticker for each Medi-Cal eligible client for whom a
laboratory test is performed. The County bills Medi-Cal client's
tests to Medi-Cal through its billing process.
The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) program services provided by
Planned Parenthood under this agreement are a valuable adjunct to the
County's STD efforts and form an integral part of the County's
response to the epidemic of STD.
