RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-475-98(3) with Clifford Owens, LMFT (DBA: Odyssey for Personal Wellness), a professional corporation, effective January 1, 2022, to amend Contract #74-475-98(2), to increase the payment limit by $12,000, from $195,000 to a new payment limit of $207,000, with no change in original term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional contractual service expenditures of $12,000 over a 2-year period and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% State Mental Health Realignment revenues. (No rate increase)










BACKGROUND:

On January 14, 1997, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution #97/17, authorizing the Health Services Director to contract with the State Department of Mental Health, (now known as the Department of Health Care Services) to assume responsibility for Medi-Cal specialty mental health services. Responsibility for outpatient specialty mental health services involves contracts with individual, group and organizational providers to deliver these services. The County has been contracting with Clifford Owens, LMFT (DBA: Odyssey for Personal Wellness), a professional corporation, since August 2019.  
  
In June 2020, the County Administrator approved, and the Purchasing Services manager executed Contract #74-475-98(2) with Clifford Owens, LMFT (DBA: Odyssey for Personal Wellness), a professional corporation, in an amount not to exceed $195,000 for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.  
  
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-475-98(3) will allow the contractor to provide additional Medi-Cal specialty mental health services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, services provided to Contra Costa Mental Health Plan Medi-Cal beneficiaries could be negatively impacted, including access to services, choice of providers, cultural competency, language capacity, geographical locations of service providers, and waiting lists.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The recommendation supports the following children’s outcomes: (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
