RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Agreement (Amendment) #29-784-11 (State #03-75796, A15) with the State of California, Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), effective December 31, 2021, to amend Standard Agreement #29-784 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #29-784-1 through #29-784-10), with no change in the original payment limit of $1,594,000, to extend the term from December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2022, to allow the County to continue providing Local Initiative Program services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will reflect no change in the original amount payable to the County of $1,594,000 for the Local Initiative Program services that are not approved for Federal funding. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Since 2003, through the Local Initiative Program, the State of California has given the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) funds necessary to provide health care service to it eligible Medi-Cal recipients within the scope of Medi-Cal benefits. These services were formerly provided under Standard Agreement #29-772 and in 2006 were broken out under this new Amendment Agreement #29-784, for State supported services.

On August 15, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement Amendment #29-784 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #29-784-1 through #29-784-10) with the California DHCS for the period from August 1, 2003 through December 31, 2016. Subsequent amendments #29-784-1 through #29-784-10 have been issued by DHCS to amend Standard Agreement #29-784 to extend the term, add funds, rates and modify language.

Approval of Standard Agreement (Amendment) #29-784-11 will allow the County to continue providing Local Initiative Program services that are not approved for Federal funding, through December 31, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, funding for continuous services through December 31, 2022 to County Medi-Cal recipients will not be provided.
