RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-421-1 with Telemedicine Group P.C. (dba TeleMed2U), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,800,000, to provide behavioral health and medical psychiatric telehealth services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual expenditures of up to $1,800,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized behavioral health services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. Services for behavioral health and medical psychiatric telehealth services include electronic video and communication technologies to facilitate outpatient therapy services including diagnosis, consultation, treatment, medication management, education, and care management services for CCHP members. Contractor has been providing behavioral health services via telehealth since January 1, 2022.

On February 8, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-421 with Telemedicine Group P.C. (dba TeleMed2U) in the amount of $1,200,000 for the provision of behavioral health and medical psychiatric telehealth services to CCHP members for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

Approval of Contract #77-421-1 will allow the contractor to continue providing behavioral health and medical psychiatric telehealth services for CCHP members through December 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized behavioral health services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contract with the County will not be provided timely and result in wait time for patients.
