SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Amendment #29-395-6, to amend Standard Agreement #29-395, effective
January 1, 1990 through March 31, 1992 with the State Department of
Health Services, Office of AIDS, allocating additional funds for
the County's AIDS drug program and extending the Contract term
through September 30, 1992 .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this amendment will result in an increased allocation
from the State (Office of AIDS) of $14 , 000, to a new total
allocation not to exceed $252 , 366. The allocation will be used to
cover the cost of certain drugs for eligible low income persons
with AIDS and/or AIDS related complexes and may not be used to
cover administrative costs associated with this program, nor for
patient monitoring, laboratory testing, or other medical services
for persons receiving any of the drugs. The County may make
provisions for copayment by patients commensurate with the
patient's ability to pay.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The State Office of AIDS has allocated to the County, by means of
Standard Agreement #29-395 which was approved by the Board on May
22, 1990, funding to cover the cost of any drug which has been
included in the AIDS Drug Program by the State and determined by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prolong the life of a
person with AIDS, for eligible low income persons who are infected
with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or persons with
AIDS and related complexes who meet certain criteria. Subsequent
amendments have increased the total payment limit based upon actual
and projected drug expenditures by the Department and have extended
the terms of this agreement through September 30, 1992 .
The Board Chair should sign six copies of the amendment, five of
which should then be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for
submission to the State Department of Health Services (Office of
AIDS) .
