RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24-979-35 with Addiction Research and Treatment, Inc., a corporation, effective July 1, 2018, to amend Contract #24-979-34 to increase the payment limit by $84,358, from $7,522,370 to a new payment limit of $7,606,728, with no change in the term of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded 50% Federal Drug Medi-Cal and 50% State Drug Medi-Cal. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-979-34 with Addiction Research and Treatment, Inc., for the provision of methadone treatment services through its Methadone Maintenance Clinics Program (Medi-Cal Drug Abuse Treatment Services) in East and West County, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Due to the delay in the release of the Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) rates, the Alcohol and other Drug Services (AODS) Division was forced to submit a contract renewal utilizing the approved rates from the previous fiscal year. The State Department of Health Care Services released the current rates in August 2018 and an amendment was submitted to update the service and dosing rates to align with the requirements.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-979-35 will allow the Contractor to provide additional methadone maintenance services through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the correct dosing rates approved by the State would not be included in this contract. .
