SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #22-316'-13 with STAT Nursing Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Wendel Brunner, M.D. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard
Contract #22-316-13 with STAT Nursing Services, in the amount of
$75, 000, for the period from July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, for
provision of in-home attendant care to AIDS and ARC patients.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded by Federal Ryan White (Care Act, Title I)
and AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver funds. No County funds are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
This Contractor has provided in-home attendant care to County' s AIDS
and ARC patients since February, 1989 , as part of the AIDS Case
Management and Home/Community Based Care Project funded by the State
Department of Health Services.
When a person with AIDS or ARC is unable to secure attendant care
which would allow them to remain in the home rather than an acute
care hospital, this project provides funding for in-home attendant
care services. The contractor must attempt to collect from all
other sources of payment (e.g. , private health insurance held by the
client, Medi-Cal, Medicare, etc. ) before the County is billed for
these services.
Approval of Standard Contract #22-316-13 will allow the Contractor
to continue to provide services to County' s AIDS and ARC patients
through June 30, 1997 .
