RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #77-340-1, effective October 1, 2021, with Behavior Treatment & Analysis, Inc., a corporation, to amend Contract #77-340, to increase the payment limit by $1,000,000, from $2,000,000 to a new payment limit of $3,000,000, to provide additional applied behavioral analysis (ABA) services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will result in additional contractual service expenditures of up to $1,000,000 for a two-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II. (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 for several years, formerly under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and was required to convert to a County contract.

On July 27, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-340 with Behavior Treatment & Analysis, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 for the provision of applied behavioral analysis services for CCHP members, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.

The contractor’s utilization is higher than anticipated, therefore, the Division requested the contract payment limit be increased from $2,000,000 to a new contract payment limit of $3,000,000 to meet the increased utilization of services for CCHP members.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #77-340-1 will allow the contractor to provide additional ABA services for CCHP members through June 30, 2023.

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.
