Report Title: Contract Amendment with Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Risk Management, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group to increase the payment limit by $222,000 to a new payment limit of $652,410 and extend the term through December 31, 2025, to continue performing medical billing reviews.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funded by the Workers’ Compensation Internal Service Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group (CCCSIG) and Contra Costa County Risk Management created a joint partnership public entity in 2003 so that CCCSIG could provide workers’ compensation medical billing reviews for the Workers’ Compensation Unit at a lower annual cost than other providers. The current contract payment limit is $430,410 and expires on December 31, 2024. This contract amendment allows the County to continue receiving the same services while a request for proposals is conducted with County Purchasing and expected to conclude in six to nine months from issuance.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not be able to maintain compliance with the California Department of Industrial Relations.
