follows:
a. $8,333.33 per month for consultation, training, medical and/or surgical
procedures, not to exceed a total of $100,000.00; and
b. $ 950.00 per month for on-call coverage, not to exceed a total of
$11,400. In the event Contractor provides on-call coverage for less than
a full month at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Health Centers, County
shall prorate payments to Contractor for that month; plus
C. $ 380.00 per occurrence when Contractor is required to come to the
Hospital during on-call hours for a surgical procedure.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Cost to the County depends upon utilization.. As appropriate, patients and/or
third party payors will be billed for services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In January, 1993, the County Board of Supervisors approved Medical Specialist
Contract #26-912 with Pauline Velez, M.D. , for general and vascular surgery
services. In October 1994, the County contracted with U.C. Davis for Dr.
Velez's services.
Due to changes in staffing and the University's request to increase payments
for surgical services, the Department wishes to again contract directly with
Dr. Velez.
Approval of Medical Specialist Contract #26-912-5 will allow Dr. Velez to
provide surgical services for Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Health Centers
through September 30, 1997.
