Contract for Lithotripsy Services, University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics, Chicago

(23) The chancellor at Chicago recommends renewal of a contract with Galen Hospital/Illinois, Inc., doing business as Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center (MRH&MC), to provide lithotripsy services to patients at the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics (UIH&C) for the period of July 15, 1993, through June 30, 1994. Patients requiring lithotripsy will be treated at MRH&MC and then, if necessary, transferred back to UIH&C. MRH&MC bills UIH&C for those services at negotiated rates on a monthly basis. UIH&C, in turn, bills the patients and third-party payors for the hospital and physician services associated with the procedures. Based on the volume of patients treated in the past, the payments to MRH&MC are estimated at $120,000 for the contract period. Based on past experience, the anticipated revenue from patient billings, projected at $220,000, will be deposited in the Hospital Income Fund from which payments will be made. The vice president for business and finance recommends approval. I concur.

On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Mr. Boyle, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Huff, Mr. Riley; no, none.)
