By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator Costa
DATE: September 28, 1992 County
SUBJECT:
Approval of Renewal Contract #26-184-3 with
MetWest Clinical Laboratories
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute on
behalf of the County, Renewal Contract #26-184-3 with MetWest Clinical
Laboratories, in the amount of $210, 000 for the period November 1, 1992
through October 31, 1993 for outside clinical laboratory services for
Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Department' s FY 1992-93 budget. As
appropriate, patients and third-party payors will be billed for
services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The purpose of Renewal Contract #26-184-3 with MetWest Clinical
Laboratories is to provide for the performance of outside clinical
laboratory tests, tests requiring equipment not available at Merrithew
Memorial Hospital 's laboratory, and rarely requested laboratory tests.
Because of the large number and diversity of laboratory tests used by
the medical community to make diagnoses, most hospitals have to utilize
outside laboratories as it is too cost-prohibitive to provide all tests
on site. Contra Costa County has utilized outside laboratories for
over twenty-five years.
