RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-174-40 with Bi-Bett, a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2021, to amend Contract #74-174-39, to modify the rates to continue to provide substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and detoxification services, with no change in the original payment limit of $5,232,481, and no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $5,232,481 and will be funded by 4% Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Block Grant ($218,285); 71% Federal Medi-Cal ($3,731,940); 25% Assembly Bill 109 ($1,282,256) revenues. (No Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Bi-Bett since May 2002 to provide substance use disorder treatment services for County residents referred through the Behavioral Health Access Line. This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing specialized substance use disorder treatment services so that men and women, including women with children, are provided an opportunity to achieve and maintain sobriety and to experience the associated benefits of self-sufficiency, family reunification, cessation of criminal activity and productive engagement in the community.

On July 27, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–174–39, with Bi-Bett, in an amount not to exceed $5,232,481 to provide substance use disorder treatment services for County residents referred through the Behavioral Health Access Line, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Amendment #74-174-40 will allow the contractor to modify the rates under the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery Service (DMC-ODS) waiver to provide substance use disorder treatment services to an increased number of non-Drug Medi-Cal residents than originally anticipated, through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, persons referred through the Drug Court, pregnant women, and other county residents will not receive drug abuse prevention, treatment, and testing services from this contractor.
