SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Medical and Behavioral Consultants, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S)
Ratify purchase of services from Medical and Behavioral Consultants,
Inc. , and authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay the $5, 678 . 04
outstanding balance for provision of psychiatric services for the
Mental Health Division.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this Contract is included in the Health Services Department
budget .
BACKGROUNDIREASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
On May 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-934-1
(as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #24-934-2) with Medical and
Behavior Consultants, Inc. , for the period from March 1, 1999 through
February 29, 2000, to provide psychiatric services for the Mental
Health Division.
The Division of Mental Health has had difficulty in maintaining
psychiatric services for Juvenile Hall clients . Medical and Behavioral
Consultants, Inc. has had to provide full-time pager coverage in order
to provide psychiatric coverage for these clients . This pager coverage
is in addition to the clinic responsibilities provided by the
Contractor. Unfortunately, due to the higher anticipated volume of
pager coverage of which services were requested by County staff and
provided by the Contractor in good faith, use of the Contractor' s
services exceeded the authorized limits.
Services were requested and provided beyond the payment limit and by
the end of February, 2000, charges of $156, 678 had been incurred, of
which $150, 040 has been paid and $6, 678 remains outstanding.
The Department is requesting that the amount due to the Contractor be
paid. This can be accomplished by the Board of Supervisors ratifying
the actions of the County employees in obtaining provision of services
of a value in excess of the contract payment limit . This will create
a valid obligation on the part of the County, retroactively authorizing
all payments made by the Auditor-Controller up to now, and authorizing
payment of the balance.
