RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County, an Agreement #28-363 with Point Comfort Underwriters, Inc., a subcontractor of the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement, to administer delivery and payment of healthcare services provided to unaccompanied refugee children at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. This non-financial agreement will allow the County to bill for services provided to unaccompanied refugee children at CCRMC.

BACKGROUND:

The United States Department of Health and Human Services funds local governmental agencies who provide medical services to unaccompanied refugee children with appropriate documentation of eligibility. CCRMC provides healthcare to unaccompanied refugee children who reside at the South West Key Program in Pleasant Hill. This agreement will establish procedures for these children to receive medical treatment at CCRMC.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under Agreement #28-363 the County and Contractor will facilitate a system for unaccompanied children to be authorized for medical services and establish billing requirements in accordance with federal policies and procedures.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, unaccompanied refugee children will not have authorization for preventative medical services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
