Spooner, Contracts Administrator 0 Costa DATE: June 12, 1986 CO^ Approval of Medical Specialist Contract 1124-320-3 with ��IJIJ SUBJECT. Deanne F. Gottfried, M.D. SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the County, Medical Specialist Contract 1124-320-3 with Deanne F. Gottfried, M.D. (specialty: Geriatric Psychiatry) for the period July 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 to be paid as follows: $ -40.25 per hour for the provision of consultation, training services, and/or medical procedures, NOT TO EXCEED a total of 850 hours and a payment limit of $34,213. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Dr. Gottfried has not had a fee rate increase since she began contracting with the County and has been paid at a rate considerably lower than the other psychiatrist who will be on contract with the Department. Therefore, there is a 15% increase in the unit cost over the prior year's contract. The source of funding for this Contract is the settlement award from John Muir Hospital. Cost to the County depends upon utilization. As appropriate, patients and/or third party payers will be billed for services. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: For a number of years the County has contracted with Medical and Dental Specialists to provide specialized professional services which are not otherwise available in its hospital and clinics. On June 12, 1984, the Board approved Medical Specialist Contract 1124-320 with Deanne F. Gottfried, M.D. for Geriatric Psychiatry services. The County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Agent executed Contract 1124-320-1 on June 17, 1985, which is being amended to reduce the Contract payment limit consistent with the reduced hours Dr. Gottfried worked due to her three-month medical absence. Contract 1124-320-3 continues these services through June 30, 1987. This Medical Specialist Contract is prepared in the standard format approved by County Counsel's Office and has been executed by the Contractor.
