RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #24-403-16 with Jon Whalen, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $526,080, to provide outpatient psychiatric services to minors for the period from February 1, 2017 through January 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% Mental Health Realignment Funds and 50% Federal Financial Participation. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On December 8, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-403-14 (as amended by Contract Amendment #24-403-15) with Jon Whalen, M.D., for the provision of outpatient psychiatric services, including acting on behalf of the County as the Mental Health Director for Behavioral Health, for the period from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017. Approval of Contract #24-403-16 will allow Contractor to continue providing outpatient psychiatric services through January 31, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to Contractor’s outpatient psychiatric services, which may result in a reduction in overall services to the community.
