By: Ginger Marieiro, Contracts Administrator
Costa
DATE: November 19, 1996 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #26-184-7 with Unilab Corporation
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard J
Contract #26-184-7 with Unilab Corporation, for the period from
November 1, 1996 through October 31, 1997, with a payment limit of
$220, 000, for outside clinical laboratory services for Merrithew
Memorial Hospital and Health Centers.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Department's Enterprise I Budget.
As appropriate, patients and third-party payors will be -billed for
services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The purpose of Standard Contract #26-184-7 with Unilab Corporation
is to provide outside clinical laboratory tests. These tests
require equipment not available at Merrithew Memorial Hospital 's
laboratory and are 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 used the services of outside
laboratories for over twenty-five years.
Contract #26-184-7 will allow the Contractor's services to continue
through October 31, 1997.
