Approve and authorize the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute on
behalf of the County, Laboratory Services Contract #29-299-8 with
Planned Parenthood, for the period July 1, 1993 through June 30, 1994,

chlamydia culture.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The fee reimburses the County for the cost of each laboratory
test performed.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Since 1984, Planned Parenthood has contracted with the County for
laboratory tests, paying a set fee per test and providing the County
with a Medi-Cal sticker for each Medi-Cal eligible client for whom a
laboratory test is performed. The County bills Medi-Cal client's
tests to Medi-Cal through its billing process.
The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) program services provided by
Planned Parenthood under this agreement are a valuable adjunct to the
County's STD efforts and form an integral part of the County's
response to the epidemic of STD.
