Background Information:
This Board of Supervisors approved the renewed agreement with this vendor on 7/1/25 (Misc. Agree 2025-195). The agreement’s purpose is to locate and arrange for Psychiatrist(s), Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Physician's Assistants, Psychologists, and Licensed Clinical Workers to provide medical services for the Department during periods of staffing shortages or vacation coverage either on-site or through telehealth. This Amendment No.1 revises Exhibit A to include overtime rates (hourly rate for hours worked over eight hours per day). The regular rates remained unchanged.
This is one of several locum tenens contracts the Department can utilize to provide temporary staffing arrangements for Psychiatrists, Psychologists and mid-level providers. Maintaining contracts for provider services is necessary to meet state requirements for network adequacy.
