RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-120-3 with Goals for Autism, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000, to provide applied behavior analysis (ABA) services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,200,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II allocations. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized ABA services including, but not limited to: treatment plans to improve the functioning of CCHP members with pervasive developmental disorders or autism under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been providing ABA services to CCHP members as part of the CCHP Provider Network since September 1, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 19, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-120-2 with Goals for Autism, Inc. to provide ABA services to CCHP members for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #77-120-3 will allow the contractor to continue to provide applied behavior analysis services to CCHP members, through September 30, 2024. Due to an administrative oversight the Department did not submit this contractual board order in a timely manner, and is therefore requesting a retroactive effective date to prevent a break in service.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized ABA services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided.
