By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts AdministratorCoS♦�
DATE: December 15, 1992 oio County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-646-2 with Villa
Maria Management Corporation (dba Westwood)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Patricia Roach)
to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-646-2 to amend
Interim Contract #24-646 with Villa Maria Management Corporation (dba Westwood) ,
effective September 1, 1992, to remedy the mutual mistake of the County and
Contractor and to accurately reflect the intent of the parties by increasing the
Contract Payment Limit by $4,445, from $104,219 to a new total Payment Limit of
$108,664.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services Department's Fiscal Year 1992-93
Budget, and the funding source is County/Realignment 100%.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Effective July 1, 1992, State Mental Health Realignment Legislation shifted
responsibility for payment to providers from the State to the Counties and required
Counties to assume direct responsibility for contracting with sub-acute skilled
nursing facilities known as Institutions for the Mentally Diseased (IMD) .
On July 28, 1992, the Board approved Interim Contract #24-646, and on November 3,
1992, approved Standard Contract #24-646-1, with Villa Maria Management Corporation
(dba Westwood) for admission and intensive day treatment of County-referred mentally
disturbed persons who are in need of sub-acute skilled nursing care in an IMD.
At the time that Interim Contract #24-646 was negotiated, payment limits were based
upon targeted levels of utilization, and it was anticipated by both parties that the
average daily census of County's patients at Westwood would not exceed 13. However,
the actual daily census of County's patients during the three-month term of the
Interim Contract was 13.8. Due to the mutual mistake of the parties, this Contract
did not accurately reflect the intent of the parties which was that the Contractor
be paid a fee-for-service for all County-referred patients which it admitted during
the term of the Interim Contract.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-646-2 will reform Interim Contract #24-
646 to change the Contract Payment Limit to $108,664 and to provide payment to the
Contractor for the services which it provided to the County during the month of
September 1992.
