Approval of Contract #27-341 with Women's Cancer Center
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his
designee (Milt Camhi) , to execute on behalf of the County,
Contract #27-341 with Women's Cancer Center, for the period from
October 1, 1997 through September 30, 1998, to be paid in
accordance with the rates set forth in the agreement, for the
provision of professional health care services for the Contra
Costa Health Plan.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded by Contra Costa Health Plan member
premiums. Costs depend upon utilization. As appropriate,
patients and/or third party payors will be billed for services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Health Plan has an obligation to provide certain specialized
professional health care services for its members under the terms
of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts
with the County.
The Health Plan is also required under the terms of its Local
Initiative contract with the State, to contract with community
physicians and other providers, called "Safety Net" and
"Traditional" Providers, for the provision of medical care to
Medi-Cal recipients.
This Contract is necessary to meet State mandates to expand the
number of community providers for the Local Initiative, along with
a recent Department of Corporations audit finding that requires
formal contracts with low volume providers.
Approval of this Contract will allow the Contractor to provide
professional health care services to Health Plan members through
September 30, 1998.
