☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-738 with Brookdale Healthcare & Wellness Centre, LP (dba Bay Marina Post Acute), a limited partnership, in an amount not to exceed $800,000, to provide skilled nursing facility (SNF) services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members and County recipients for the period January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $800,000 over a two-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues.
BACKGROUND:
CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized SNF health care 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 an 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. 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 new Contractor will join the CCHP Provider Network to provide SNF services and foster a deep understanding of the CCHP organizations mission, values, and long-term objectives starting January 1, 2025.
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. Contractor will cooperate with and participate 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. The nature of the SNF services needed is complex and requires seamless coordination, integration and collaboration with existing programs and systems. These contracted services were determined to be exempt from Administrative Bulletin 600.3 solicitation requirements by the Public Works Department’s Purchasing Division.
Under new Contract #77-738 Contractor will provide SNF services to CCHP members and County recipients for the period January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026.
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.
