RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Grant Award Amendment #29-338-22, with the Department of Health Care Services, Children Medical Services, effective November 1, 2016, to amend Grant Award #29-338-21 to decrease the amount payable to County by $35,588 from $1,929,816 to a new total of $1,894,228 for the Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) and the Health Care Program for Children in Foster Care (HCPCFC), for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in an decrease of $35,588 for the base award from the California Department of Health Care Services State and the Federal Financial Participation for the County’s CHDP and HCPCFC projects. The increase in county match of $38,289 will be covered by the department's budgeted County General Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The CHDP Program carries out State mandates regarding early and periodic screening, diagnosis and treatment and case coordination of health and dental services for children on Medi-Cal or within the 200% poverty level. These services are federally required and consistent with approved standards of medical practice. The CHDP program is responsible for provider certifications, network and resource development, training, outreach, care coordination, follow up and communications with medical and dental providers.

This program works closely with community providers, other health related agencies, Managed Care, County Departments including Employment and Human Services, Probation, and Community Services as well as other Health Services Divisions to provide a wide variety of health related consultation services.

On November 1, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved a Grant Award #29-338-21 with the Department of Health Care Services, Children Medical Services for County’s CHDP and HCPCFC projects for July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

Approval of Grant Award Amendment #29-338-22 will decrease funds necessary for the continuation of this long standing state and federal funding that supports these ongoing Public Health Programs CHDP and HCPCFC through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funding to support the CHDP and the HCPCFC programs to comply with State and Federal requirements.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
