SUBJECT: Approval of Contract#26-546 with Estelle Gregory,M.D.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Jeff Smith, M.D.)to execute on
behalf of the County, Contract#26-546 with Estelle Gregory, M.D., a self-employed individual, in an
amount not to exceed $75,500, to provide professional psychiatric services for the Psychiatric
Emergency Room at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, for the period from January 1, 2006
through December 31, 2006.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by Enterprise I Budget. Cost to the County depends upon utilization.
As appropriate,patients and/or third party payors will be billed for services.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
For a number of years the County has contracted with Medical, Dental and Mental Health Specialists
to provide specialized professional services that are not otherwise available in its Hospital and Health
Centers. Currently, there is an insufficient number of employee physicians to provide the mandated
level of coverage at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Psychiatric Emergency Room.
On January 18, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved a Mental Health Specialist Contract #74—
242 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-242-1) with Estelle Gregory, M.D., for the period
from January 15, 2005 through December 31, 2005, for the provision of professional psychiatric
services for the Mental Health Division.
Approval of Contract #26-546 will allow the Contractor to provide psychiatric services for Contra
Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, due to an organizational restructure
at the Hospital, through December 31,2006.
