SUBJECT: Approval of Cancellation Agreement #24-984-3 and Contract
#24-984-4 with Pradeep Kumar, M.D.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna
Wigand) , to execute on behalf of the County as follows :
1 . Cancellation Agreement #24-984-3 with Pradeep Kumar, M.D. , effective
on the close of business on May 31, 2001; and
2 . Contract #24-984-4 with Pardeep Kumar, M.D. , for the period from June
1, 2001 through May 31, 2002, in an amount not to exceed $115, 500, for
the provision of professional psychiatric services .
FISCAL IMPACT•
This Contract is funded by Mental Health Realignment, and offset by third
party billing.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
On February 6, 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved Mental Health
Specialist Contract #24-984-2 with Pradeep Kumar, M.D. , for the period from
February 1, 2001 through January 31, 2002 , for the provision of
professional outpatient psychiatric services for the County' s Mental Health
Department .
Due to an administrative oversight, Contract #24-984-2 did not accurately
reflect the intent of the parties, which was that Dr. Kumar' s relationship
with the County would be as an Independent Contractor Subject To
Withholding rather than an Independent Contractor. Unfortunately, the
"Questionnaire for Determining Independent Contractor Payment Method" form,
was filled out incorrectly. Dr. Kumar' s status has not changed in terms of
the way his work is performed for the County. He continues to work and
function as a Contractor Subject To Withholding. Therefore, in accordance
with Paragraph 3 . (Term) of the Contract, the Department and Contractor
have agreed to a mutual cancellation of Contract #24-984-2 . Approval of
Cancellation Agreement #24-984-3 will accomplish this termination.
Approval of Contract #24-984-4 will allow Contractor to continue providing
services through May 31, 2002 .
