SUBJECT: Approval of Contract #24-868-4 with Telecare Corporation
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S) :
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Donna
Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #24-.868-4 with Telecare
Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $125, 000 to provide inpatient
psychiatric services, for the period from July 1, 2000 through June 30,
2001 .
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services budget and is funded by
acute psychiatric inpatient consolidation funds .
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-868-3
. with Telecare Corporation, for the period from July 1, 1999 through June 30,
2000, for the provision of inpatient psychiatric treatment services to
County' s patients at its Telecare Solano/Psychiatric Health Facility, which
is an alternative to utilization at Napa State Hospital .
Because of pending Medi-Cal bed day rates and a lengthy negotiation process
between the Mental Health Division and Contractor, the Department neglected
to process a formal Contract to allow Contractor to continue providing
inpatient psychiatric services . Services were requested and provided by
Contractor in good faith.
It was the intent of the Department, and as agreed upon by Contractor, that
Contractor would continue providing services while contract negotiations
were underway. Approval of this Contract #24-868-.4 will make the formal .
Contract consistent with the oral agreement, which was agreed upon between
both parties, allowing Contractor to continue providing services through.
June 30 , 2001 .
