BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 2022, the Governing Board approved the Master Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with Medicus Healthcare Solutions, LLC (Medicus) to provide a full range of trauma and/or surgical anesthesiology locum tenens and advanced practitioners staffing services including, but not limited to, UMC’s Departments of Anesthesiology, Trauma, Emergency Room, Radiology, Cardiac Catheterization Lab, Burn Unit and/or Surgery. The initial Agreement Term was from November 16, 2022 through May 16, 2023, with three (3) renewal periods of six (6) months each unless terminated without cause with a 60-day notice, with a not-to-exceed amount of $4,950,000.
Amendment One, effective March 21, 2023, extended the Term through December 31, 2023, increased the funding by adding a NTE $11,050,000, and updated the fee schedule. A Radiology Statement of Work (Radiology SOW), effective July 21, 2023, added radiology locum tenens to provide project-based services. Amendment Two, effective December 5, 2023, extended the Agreement and Radiology SOW’s Term through December 31, 2024. Amendment Three, effective April 16, 2024, added funding of $10,000,000. Amendment Four, effective November 19, 2024, extended the Agreement and Radiology SOW’s Term through December 31, 2025, added funding of $10,000,000, and updated the scope of services and fee schedule for the Radiology SOW.
This Amendment Five requests to extend the Term for one (1) year through December 31, 2026, and increase the funding by adding NTE $5,000,000, to anticipate continued services provided by Medicus that were not contemplated in the original Agreement.
UMC’s Support Services Executive Director has reviewed and recommends approval of this Amendment. This Amendment has been approved as to form by UMC’s Office of General Counsel.
This Amendment was reviewed by the Governing Board at their September 24, 2025, meeting and recommended for approval by the Board of Hospital Trustees.
