DATE: December 15, 1992 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment #26-179-5 with the Regents of the University of
California (U.C. Davis School of Internal Medicine Department)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute on
behalf of the County, Amendment #26-179-5 (University Amendment No. 5 to
Agreement No. 88-005519V) with the Regents of the University of
California (U.C. Davis School of Internal Medicine Department) , to amend
Agreement #26-179 (as amended by Amendments #26-179-1, 26-179-2, #26-
179-3 and #26-179-4) effective November 1, 1992 , to decrease the
contract payment limit from $65, 000 to a new total contract payment
limit of $56, 662 . Under this agreement, U.C. Davis School of Internal
Medicine provides professional infectious diseases services in the care
of patients treated at County's Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract- is funded in the Department's FY 1992-93 budget. The
services provided under this agreement are billable to patients and
appropriate third party payors and the actual cost depends upon
utilization.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In the past few years, the Board has approved contracts with the Regents
of the University of California (U.C. Davis School of Medicine) for
professional services in several medical specialties. Services are
provided to County's inpatients and outpatients at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics by Veterans Administration physicians who are also
U.C. Davis School of Medicine faculty members.
The County has had an agreement with the Regents for provision of
professional infectious diseases services in the care of patients
treated at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics since 1988. The
University has informed the Department that they are experiencing
physician changes due to the closure of the Veterans Administration
Hospital in Martinez, and must reduce the level of infectious diseases
services provided to the County.
Approval of Amendment #26-179-5, will reduce the payment limit of this
agreement to reflect the reduction in services by U.C. Davis School of
Medicine through the term of the Agreement.
