SUBJECT: Approval of Contract #26-266-2 with Immuno Diagnostic Laboratories
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
'
Approveand authorize the Health Services Director, or his
designee (Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) , to execute on behalf of the County,
Standard Contract #26-266-2 with Immuno Diagnostic Laboratories
(IDL) , in the amount of $120, 000, for the period from May 1, 1997
through April 30, 1998, for outside clinical laboratory services
for Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Health Centers.
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:
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.
Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Health Centers has experienced a
significant, increase in HIV test volume, and IDL is one of the few
laboratories in the country which specializes in HIV testing.
On June 11, 1996, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard
Contract #26-266-1 with IDL for the period from May 1, 1996
through April 30, 1997, for the provision of outside clinic
laboratory services. Approval of Standard Contract #26-266-2
will allow the Contractor to continue to provide services through
April 30, 1998.
