RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept on behalf of the County Grant Award #29-338-27 with the Department of Health Care Services, Children Medical Services, to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $1,011,165, for the Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP), the Health Care Program for Children in Foster Care (HCPCFC) and Psychotropic Medication Management and Monitoring Oversight (PMM&O) activities, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant award will result in $1,011,165 of funding from the California Department of Health Care Services for the CHDP, HCPCFC and PMM&O projects. A match of $374,707 from the County General Fund is required and budgeted.  






BACKGROUND:

The CHDP Program carries out State mandates regarding early and periodic screening, diagnosis and treatment and case coordination of health and dental services for children on Medi-Cal or within the 200% poverty level. These services are federally required and consistent with approved standards of medical practice. The CHDP program is responsible for provider certifications, network and resource development, training, outreach, care coordination, follow up and communications with medical and dental providers.   
  
This program works closely with community providers, other health related agencies, Managed Care, County Departments including Employment and Human Services, Probation, and Community Services as well as other Health Services Divisions to provide a wide variety of health related consultation services. The County has been part of this program since 1980.  
  
The goal of the Program is to provide access to Contra Costa County low income children for periodic wellness care, provide further diagnosis and treatment for medical and dental problems found, assist with enrollment into a comprehensive plan, provide case coordination, follow up, and liaison to various resources, and provide case management and payment for care for children ages 0-21. The HCPCFC program carries out federal and state mandates for children in foster care and the juvenile justice system. PMM&O provides administrative public health nursing oversight of psychotropic medications for children in foster care and the juvenile justice system.  
  
On January 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Award #29-338-26 with the Department of Health Care Services, Children Medical Services, in an amount not to exceed $820,150, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.  
  
Approval of Grant Award #29-338-27 will allow for the continuation of this long standing state and federal funding that supports these ongoing Public Health Programs: CHDP, HCPCFC and PMM&O through June 30, 2022.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funding to support the CHDP, HCPCFC and the PMM&O programs to comply with State and Federal requirements.
