Report Title: Contract #27-950-5 with Brighter Beginnings
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #27-950-5 with Brighter Beginnings, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000, to provide primary care physician (PCP) services to Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) Members and county recipients, for the period October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,200,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues. (No rate increase)
BACKGROUND:
CCHP has an obligation to provide certain PCP services, including family medicine for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the county. This contractor has been a part of the CCHP Provider Network providing PCP services and fostering a deep understanding of the CCHP organizations mission, values, and long-term objectives since October 1, 2014. Per Administration Bulletin 600.3 this contractor provides physician services for CCHP and is exempt from Solicitation requirements.
On August 11, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #27-950-4 with Brighter Beginnings, in an amount not to exceed $600,000, for the provision of primary PCP services for CCHP members and county recipients, for the period October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2023.
Approval of Contract #27-950-5 will allow the contractor to continue providing PCP services to CCHP members and county recipients through September 30, 2026.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, certain primary care physician services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the county will not be provided and may cause a delay in services to CCHP members.
