RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74–282–16 with Ronel L. Lewis, M.D., a individual, effective October 1, 2017, to amend Contract #74–282–15, to increase the payment limit by $112,320, from $266,240 to a new payment limit of $378,560, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 18% by Federal Medi-Cal, 18% by State Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT), and 64% Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 25, 2017 the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-282-15 with Ronel L. Lewis, M.D., for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, for the provision of child psychiatry services at the County’s Juvenile Hall and at the East County Children’s Mental Health Clinic.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-282-16 will allow the contractor to provide psychiatric services to additional clients at the Juvenile Hall and the East County Children’s Mental Health Clinic, through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to the contractor’s professional outpatient psychiatric services, thereby reducing overall levels of services to the community.
