Title
Public Health Department recommending Chairman be authorized to sign Amendment 1 to Agreement 534-PHD0606 with Wittman Enterprises, LLC clarifying the scope of services and compensation language.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve.
FUNDING: N/A
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: There is no fiscal impact or change to Net County Cost.
Background: The Board approved the County's contract with Wittman Enterprises on June 27, 2006 to conduct ambulance billing services on its behalf. Wittman has since performed those services to the County's satisfaction. However, the Department identified three areas in the scope and compensation sections of the contract that need clarification and, after discussions with Wittman, wished to address those issues through an amendment.
Reason for Recommendation: This amendment modifies the scope of service section to clarify the County's requirements for payment posting as well as the processing of refunds and overpayments from payers. It also amends the compensation section to account for these modifications but does not result in any direct fiscal change in compensation from the original contract.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Chairman to sign three (3) copies of the attached amendment; Board Clerk's Office to forward two (2) signed copies to Department; Department to distribute as appropriate.
