FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $24,000,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues.
BACKGROUND:
CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized SNF services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. Members are released from the hospital to recover at a SNF until they are well enough to be sent home. These services include but are not limited to: twenty-four (24) hour medical care, social service and case management coordination, wound care, respiratory therapy, nasogastric and gastric tube feeding, physical and speech therapy services. This Contractor’s proven track record and established reputation within the medical community mitigates potential risks associated with CCHP’s success and patient well-being. This Contractor has been a member of CCHP Provider Network providing SNF services and fostering a deep understanding of the CCHP organizations mission, values, and long-term objectives since December 1, 2021.
This Contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000; and Health and Safety Code § 1451. Health Services Personnel approved this contract to ensure no conflicts with labor relations. Contractor currently cooperates with and participates in CCHP’s Quality Management Program which consists of quality improvement activities to improve the quality of care and services and member experience. Cooperation includes collection and evaluation of performance measurement data and participation in the organization’s clinical and service measure Quality Improvement Programs. These contracted services were determined to be exempt from Administrative Bulletin 600.3 solicitation requirements by the Public Works Department’s Purchasing Division.
On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-402 with Contra Loma Healthcare LLC (dba Lone Tree Post Acute), in an amount not to exceed $600,000, for the provision of SNF services for CCHP members and County recipients for the period, December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2024.
Approval of Contract #77-402-3 will allow Contractor to continue to provide SNF services for CCHP members and County recipients for the period December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2027.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved certain specialized SNF health care 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.
