The department had been negotiating a longer-term contract renewal with the company, Health Star Plus, and its director, Dr. Mark J. Wade, of Saddle River, New Jersey, for several months without reaching an agreement, said Scott Trent, who is the spokesman Juvenile Justice. As the contract's expiration date came near, Juvenile Justice officials asked the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, which runs public hospitals and provides emergency care to youths in city custody, to provide routine medical care if Health Star Plus pulled out. The 30-day contract extension is priced up to $350,000 for Health Star Plus, as said by Mr. Trent.
