RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, Cynthia Belon, to execute, on behalf of the County, Standard Agreement #29-469-20 (State #17-94518), with the California Department of Health Care Services, to administer and oversee the Mental Health Services Act, Projects for Assistance in transition from Homelessness (PATH) and Community Mental Health Services Grant programs for County’s community mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under this Contract, the County shall be reimbursed by the California Department of Health Care Services with Federal Title XIX funds for the cost of federally eligible Short-Doyle/Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health services rendered to federally eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries. County shall adhere to the State maximum statewide reimbursement of negotiated rates for Short-Doyle/Medi-Cal (SD/MC) services and Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Years 2017 through 2018. Reimbursement for Federal Grants shall be subject to Federal cost containment requirements and availability of funds.

BACKGROUND:

This Mental Health Services Performance Agreement covers County Realignment requirements, including maintenance of effort, access to and use of state hospital, data collection and reporting, and cost reporting on County Mental Health Programs. The County shall provide an array of Mental Health treatment options and case management services to County mental health residents in accordance with the Welfare and Institution Codes section 5600.2 through 5600.9.
On July 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-469-19 with the California Department of Health Care Services for Fiscal Year 2016 through 2017.

Approval of this Agreement #29-469-20 will allow the County to receive funding to support the PATH from Homelessness and Community Mental Health Services through June 30, 2018. This Agreement requires the County to indemnify the California Department of Health Care Services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding and will not meet the conditions and requirements of the State Department of Health Services.
