RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-341-84(9) with Carolina Castillo, MFT, an individual, effective December 1, 2020, to modify the Rate Schedule, to continue to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services with no change in the payment limit of $225,000 or term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% State Mental Health Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On January 14, 1997, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution #97/17, authorizing the Health Services Director to contract with the State Department of Mental Health, (now known as the Department of Health Care Services) to assume responsibility for Medi-Cal specialty mental health services. Responsibility for outpatient specialty mental health services involves contracts with individual, group and organizational providers to deliver these services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 14, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-341-84(8) with Carolina Castillo, MFT for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-341-84(9) will allow Contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, services provided to Contra Costa Mental Health Plan Medi-Cal beneficiaries could be negatively impacted, including access to services, choice of providers, cultural competency, language capacity, geographical locations of service providers, and waiting lists.
