BACKGROUND:
On August 31, 2022, the Governing Board approved the Services Agreement with Comprehensive Care Services, Inc. (“CCS”) to provide qualified technicians to perform perfusion services on an as-needed basis, and necessary equipment. UMC agreed to compensate CCS an estimated $3,500,000.00 per year for the period from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause with a 90-day written notice to the other. Amendment No. 1, effective September 1, 2022, updated Exhibit D to add disposables. Amendment No. 2, effective April 21, 2023, updated the fee schedule to add Physician Consulting and Program Evaluation Services. Amendment No. 3, effective May 3, 2023, updated Exhibit D to add disposables.
This Amendment No. 4 requests to increase the funding by an additional $3,593,016.68, update the fee schedule for TAVR and ECMO to utilize perfusion services, Exhibit B. Continuous Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement Activities, and Exhibit D. Disposables. Staff also requests authority for the CEO to exercise extension options or execute amendments to this agreement if deemed beneficial to UMC.
This Amendment is being entered into pursuant to UMC’s agreement with HealthTrust Purchasing Group (“HPG”). HPG is a Group Purchasing Organization of which UMC is a member. This request is in compliance with NRS 450.525 and NRS 450.530; attached is the bid summary sheet and a sworn statement from an HPG executive verifying that the pricing was obtained through a competitive bid process.
UMC’s Clinical Director of Specialty Services has reviewed and recommends approval of this Amendment. This Amendment has been approved as to form by UMC’s Office of General Counsel.
CCS is not currently required to hold a Clark County business license.
This Amendment was reviewed by the Governing Board at their July 26, 2023 meeting and recommended for approval by the Board of Hospital Trustees.
