RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-344-6 (07-19EVRGRN) with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), effective July 1, 2019, to allow the County to participate in and be reimbursed for Targeted Case Management (TCM) services provided to County recipients.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in approximately $100,000,000 per year in funds payable to County for the TCM services, from the California Department of Health Care Services. No additional County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Since 1997, the Department of Health Care Services has funded many Local Governmental Agencies to provide TCM. TCM is a Federal Program which provides comprehensive case management services to individuals within a specified target group. Due to California’s “Bridge to Reform”, Section 1115 Medicaid demonstration waiver and the related Medi-Cal managed care expansion, new TCM policies and procedures require a new TCM Provider Participation Agreement with the DHCS, including transitioning to an evergreen agreement.

Approval of Agreement #28-344-6 will replace the prior agreement and allow the County to continue to provide and be reimbursed for TCM until terminated by either party. This agreement includes agreeing to indemnify the State for any claims arising out of the County’s performance under the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funds accessible to continue the TCM services.
