RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to accept, on behalf of the County, Grant Award #29-338-21, from the Department of Health Care Services, Children Medical Services, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $1,929,816 for the Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) and the Health Care Program for Children in Foster Care (HCPCFC), for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant award will result in $1,929,816 of funding from the California Department of Health Care Services State and the Federal Financial Participation for the County’s Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) and the Health Care Program for Children in Foster Care (HCPCFC) projects. A county match of $411,459 in County General Funds is required.

BACKGROUND:

The CHDP Program carries out State mandates regarding early and periodic screening, diagnosis, 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 goal of the Program is to provide access to Contra Costa County low income children ages 0-21 for periodic wellness care, provide further diagnosis and treatment for medical and dental problems, assist with enrollment into a comprehensive plan, provide case coordination, follow up, and liaison services to various resources. The HCPCFC program carries out federal and state mandates for children in foster care and the juvenile justice system.

Approval of Grant Award #29-338-21 is necessary for the continuation of this long standing state and federal funding that supports these ongoing Public Health Programs: Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) and the Health Care Program for Children in Foster Care (HCPCFC) through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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