DATE: November 19, 1997 _ County
SUBJECT: Approval of Laboratory Services Contract #29-299-12 with
Planned Parenthood
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,
Laboratory Services Contract #29-299-12 with Planned Parenthood, for
the period from October 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, for the
provision of laboratory culture testing services by the County's
Public Health Laboratory.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The County bills the Agency for laboratory culture tests
performed by the Public Health Laboratory at the request of Planned
Parenthood, with a fee of $4 . 00 per gonococcus culture, $6. 00 per
chlamydia culture, and $1. 50 per HIV antibody test. These fees
reimburse the County for the cost of each laboratory test performed.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Since 1984, Planned Parenthood has contracted with the County for
laboratory tests, paying a set fee per test. The Contractor
provides the County with a Medi-Cal sticker for each Medi-Cal
eligible client or a State Office of Family Planning (SOFP) Health
Access Program (HAP) number for each SOFP client for whom a
laboratory test is performed. The County bills Medi-Cal clients'
tests to Medi-Cal and SOFP clients' tests to SOFP through its
billing process.
The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) program services provided by
Planned Parenthood under this Agreement are a valuable adjunct to
the County's STD efforts and form an integral part of the County's
response to the epidemic of STD.
