RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22358 to add one Administrative Services Assistant III (APTA) position at salary plan and grade level ZB5-1631 ($6,174-$7,504) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this request has an annual cost of $156,556 with pension costs of $34,290 already included. This cost is fully funded by Mental Health Realignment.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add one Administrative Services Assistant III position in the Provider Services Unit within Behavioral Health Division. Provider Services is a compliance unit responsible for Medi-Cal certification/re-certification of county-owned and operated programs, including all mental health clinics for children, transitional aged youth, adults and older adults.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The primary duties and responsibilities of the new position will include coordinating the re-credentialing of all active providers for the Contra Costa Mental Heath Plan and updating/maintaining provider information in the ShareCare system for billing purposes. The incumbent will act as a liaison between Provider Services Unit and all mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, registered nurses, psychiatrists nurse practitioners and peer providers in the county and contractors to collect update and maintain required data for Network Adequacy Certification of Mental Health Plan.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Behavioral Health Division Provider Services will not be properly staffed and run the risk of losing credentialing for Mental Health providers.
