RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #28-855-2 (State #16-10333, A01) with the California Department of Public Health, Office of AIDS, to add Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Assistance Program enrollment services for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) and extend the termination date to June 30, 2020 with no change in the original amount payable to the County not to exceed $5,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No change in the original amount payable to the County not to exceed $5,000 for the ADAP. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

Access to AIDS drug therapies is credited with prolonging lives and reducing health care costs associated with HIV and AIDS. The medications are costly and necessary for life. The ADAP program ensures that eligible individuals have access to those medications free of charge or for a minimum charge. Eligibility determination is a critical function to ensure that people with AIDS and HIV can access these therapies. This ADAP site agreement allows the County to continue providing these services in Contra Costa County. Enrollment in ADAP saves the Health Services Department millions of dollars in necessary AIDS drug therapies.

On July 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-855-1 with the California Department of Public Health, Office of AIDS for the ADAP for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. This Agreement includes provision to indemnify and hold harmless the State for claims arising out of the County’s performance.

Approval of Standard Agreement #28-855-2 will to add PrEP Assistance Program enrollment services and extend the termination date to June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County AIDS Drug Program will not be able to provide PrEP Assistance Program enrollment services eligible County residents which will reduce the negative health impacts of AIDS.
