RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24-429-67 with Ujima Family Recovery Services, a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2019, to amend Contract #24-429-66, to increase the payment limit by $146,198, from $3,138,633 to a new payment limit of $3,284,831, with no change in the term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded by 70% Drug Medi-Cal, 16% Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Perinatal Set-Aside, 10% SAPT Block Grant and 4% Assembly Bill (AB) 109. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On September 24, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–429–66 with Ujima Family Recovery Services, to provide residential and outpatient treatment for pregnant and parenting women and their small children for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Amendment #24-429-67 will allow Contractor to increase the rates under the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery Service (DMC-ODS) waiver, which have been significantly lower for residential

facilities than initially anticipated. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) approved the rate increase to be retroactive to July 1, 2019 and will allow the Contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Amendment is not approved, pregnant and parenting women will not receive the alcohol and drug treatment services they need which may result in perinatal substance abuse and additional risk to their babies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” community outcome by providing parenting education, stability, and safety for mothers (and their children) and pregnant women who are alcohol and drug dependent, while they are in substance abuse treatment. Expected outcomes include delivery of drug-free babies, decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, reduction in the number of relapses, and creation of a sober social network.
