RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-394-15 with Ronald L. Leon, M.D, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $222,144, to provide outpatient psychiatric services to County patients in east County and at the Juvenile Detention Facility, for the period from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $222,144 and will be funded by 100% Mental Health Realignment revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing psychiatric services for mentally ill adults three days per week in East County and providing psychiatric services to clients in Juvenile Hall. Dr. Leon has been providing psychiatric services for mentally ill patients in East County, psychiatric services to clients in the Juvenile Detention Facility, and Spanish speaking psychiatric services to clients since April 1, 2010.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On March 2, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-394-14 with Ronald L. Leon, M.D., Inc., in an amount of $222,144, to provide outpatient psychiatric services, including diagnosing, counseling, and evaluating, and providing medical and therapeutic treatment for County patients in east county, for the period April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.

Approval of Contract #74-394-15 will allow the contractor to continue providing outpatient psychiatric services through March 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients in East County and the Juvenile Detention Facility requiring outpatient psychiatric services will not have access to this contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in levels of service to the community.
