FROM: Mark Finucane, Health Services Director Contra
Costa
DATE: January 20, 1995 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #26-184-5 with
Unilab Corporation
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard
Contract #26-184-5 with Unilab Corporation, for the period from
November 1, 1994 through October 31, 1995, with a payment limit of
$220, 000, for outside clinical laboratory services for Merrithew
Memorial Hospital and Clinics.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Department's Enterprise I Budget. As
appropriate, patients and third-party payors will be billed for
services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The purpose of Standard Contract #26-184-5 with Unilab Corporation is
to provide for the performance of outside clinical laboratory tests,
tests requiring equipment not available at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital 's laboratory, and rarely requested laboratory tests. Because
of the large number and diversity of laboratory tests used by the
medical community to make diagnoses, most hospitals have to utilize
outside laboratories as it is too cost-prohibitive to provide all
tests on site. Contra Costa County has used the services of outside
laboratories for over twenty-five years.
Contract #26-184-5 will allow the Contractor's services to continue
through October 31, 1995.
