RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #29-469-22 (State #18-95239, A01) with the California Department of Health Care Services, to modify terms and conditions to include the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant services for County’s community behavioral health services, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under this contract, the County shall be reimbursed by the California Department of Health Care Services with Federal Title XIX funds for the cost of federally eligible Short-Doyle/Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health services rendered to federally eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries. County shall adhere to the State maximum statewide reimbursement of negotiated rates for Short-Doyle/Medi-Cal (SD/MC) services and Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Years 2018 through 2021. Reimbursement for Federal grants shall be subject to Federal cost containment requirements and availability of funds.

BACKGROUND:

This Mental Health Services Performance Agreement covers County Realignment requirements, including maintenance of effort, access to and use of State Hospital, data collection and reporting, and cost reporting on County Mental Health Programs. The County shall provide an array of Mental Health treatment options and case management services to County Mental Health residents in accordance with the Welfare and Institution Codes section 5600.2 through 5600.9.

On November 5, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Performance Standard Agreement #29-469-21 with the California Department of Health Care Services for Fiscal Year 2018/2021.

Approval of this Amendment Agreement #29-469-22 will allow for modifications to the terms and conditions to include the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grants through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved the County will not receive funding for Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant services and will not meet the conditions and requirements of the State Department of Health Care Services.
