To: Board of Supervisors
From: Anna Roth, Health Services Director
Report Title: Contract #76-788-1 with Gregory Barme, M.D.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #76-788-1 with Gregory Barme, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $300,000, to provide urology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $300,000 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)
BACKGROUND:
Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Health Centers rely on contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to their patients. This contractor has been contracting with the county since September 2022 to provide urology services, including clinic coverage, on-call services, medical and surgical procedures.
On September 13, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-788 with Gregory Barme, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $300,000, to provide urology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023
Approval of Contract #76-788-1 will allow the contractor to continue providing urology services through August 31, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, the necessary specialty urology 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.
