RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-225-62(8) with Amy Scott, MFT, a self-employed individual, effective November 1, 2014, to amend Contract #74-225-62(7), to make technical adjustments to the rate sheet, with no change in the payment limit of $120,000, and no change in the original term of July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Federal Medi-Cal and 50% State General Funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 16, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-225-62(7), with Amy Scott, MFT, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015, for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Due to an increase in utilization, higher than expected, County requested and Contractor agreed to provide additional services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries, therefore, County has agreed to modify the rate sheet, with no change in the payment limit and no change in the original term of the Contract through June 30, 2015.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-225-62(8) will allow the Contractor to provide services to additional Medi-Cal beneficiaries through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not be able to provide services to additional Medi-Cal beneficiaries resulting in a lower level of services to the community.
