FROM: William Walker, M.D. , Health Services Director ,
By: Ginger Marieiro, Contracts Administrator ' _=!z Contra
Costa
DATE: April 23, 1997
County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-940-1 with
Louay Toma, M.D.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) 8: 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,
Contract Amendment Agreement #26-940-1 with Louay Toma, M.D. ,
effective December 1, 1996, to increase the fee schedule for
surgical procedures specified in the Contract, from 60% of the
Medicare Physician RBRVS Fee Schedule, to a new percentage rate of
64%.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Cost to the County depends upon utilization. As appropriate,
patients and/or third party payors will be billed for services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On December 17, 1996, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#26-940 with the Contractor for the period from December 1, 1996
through November 30, 1997, for provision of professional
orthopedic services to County's patients at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Health Centers.
Due to the mutual mistake of the parties, this Contract did not
accurately reflect the intent of the parties. The Contractor
should be reimbursed for surgical procedures performed, at the
request of the County, at the rate of 64% of Medicare Physician
RBRVS Fee Schedule.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-940-1 will reform the
Contract to remedy the mutual mistake of the County and the
Contractor, and to accurately reflect the intent of the parties,
so that the Contractor can be properly reimbursed for orthopedic
services provided to County's patients.
