RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-383 with Serene Health IPA Medical Corporation, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $600,000, to provide behavioral telehealth, applied behavioral health analysis (ABA) and comprehensive diagnostic evaluation (CDE) services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $600,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II allocations.

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized behavioral health services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. Services for behavioral telehealth outpatient therapy services may include electronic video and communication technologies, to facilitate outpatient therapy services including diagnosis, consultation, treatment, education, care management and ABA and CDE services for CCHP members. This contractor has been providing services under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for several years but is required to convert to a County contract with the CCHP Provider Network on January 1, 2023.

Under new Contract #77-383, the contractor will continue to provide behavioral telehealth services, including ABA and CDE to CCHP members, for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized behavioral health services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided by this contractor and may delay services to CCHP members.
