FROM: Mark Finucane, Health Services Director Contra
By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator COSta
DATE: June 13, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract 427-036-3 with Macdonald Avenue Pharmacy
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
s
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairwoman to execute on behalf of the County,
Contract #27-036-3 with Macdonald Avenue Pharmacy for provision of phar-
maceutical services for the period July 1, 1985 - June 30, 1986, and
automatically renewed each year unless terminated by 30-day written
notice or mutual agreement by contractor and County.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this service will be included in the FY 1985-86 Department
Budget. This contract is funded by Health Plan member premiums. Actual
costs depends upon utilization. The County pays the current Medi-Cal
rate for like service.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The various Health Plan contracts require that the County provide certain
benefit levels to Health Plan enrollees. The purpose of this Contract is
to make available to Health Plan members prescribed medications which are
not part of the County Hospital formulary, and therefore, not available
through County-operated pharmacies. Initial contracts with these provi-
ders were completed in 1977. The contract format is not for purposes of
actually purchasing services, but assures that Health Plan enrollees will
be protected should they receive service from this provider, and that the
provider will be paid the Medi-Cal rate for like services.
Since the contract payments are based on the Medi-Cal rate at the time
services are rendered, the contract has been made automatically renewable
from year to year unless terminated by 30-day notice or mutual consent of
County and contractor. There are no other changes from the prior
contracts with Macdonald Avenue Pharmacy.
This document has been approved by the Department's Contracts and Grants
Administrator in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Board's
Order of December 1, 1981 (Guidelines for contract preparation and pro-
cessing, Health Services Department).
