FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $250,000 and will be funded as budgeted by the department 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC relies on contractors to provide necessary neurology specialty health services to its patients. This is a new Contractor who will provide neurology services including, but not limited to: consultation, training, medical and/or surgical procedures, on-call coverage, telehealth, on-site and virtual services for CCRMC patients starting June 1, 2026.
This Contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000; Health and Safety Code § 1451. Health Services Personnel approved this contract to ensure no conflicts with labor relations. CCRMC’s Quality Management, Utilization Management and Contract Monitor Staff meet on a regular basis to ensure monitoring and performance measures in the contract are upheld. Per Administrative Bulletin 600.3, CCRMC Physician services are exempt from Solicitation requirements.
Approval of new Contract #76-959 will allow the Contractor to provide neurology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center through May 31, 2027.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, the necessary specialty neurology services needed for patient care will not be available or will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
