FROM: Mark Finucane, Health Services Director - Contra
By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrato (erecta
DATE: November 2, 1994 9 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #22-489 with Longs Drug Stores
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Wendel Brunner, M.D. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard
Contract #22-489 with Longs Drug Stores, in the amount of $100, 000,
for the period from October 1, 1994 through September 30, 1995, for
provision of pharmaceutical services for County' s AIDS Drug Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded 100% by the State Department of Health
Services, Office of AIDS. No County funds are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The State reimburses the County for the cost of certain medications
provided through its AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) to income-
eligible AIDS patients. Many pharmacies in the County have been
approa-ched about becoming contract providers for this drug program,
but the State's ADAP rates of payment in the program are so low, there
is no financial incentive for pharmacies to participate. Until now,
Martinez Valco Drugs (Contract #22-425) has been the only pharmacy to
agree to provide medications under the County' s AIDS Drug Program.
Approval of Standard Contract #22-489 will allow Longs Drug Stores to
provide pharmaceutical services for AIDS Drug Program clients at 18
Longs Drug Stores throughout the county, through September 30, 1995.
