RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Standard (Amendment) Agreement #15-10475 A01 (County #29-395-30) with the California Department of Public Health, Office of AIDS, effective July 1, 2015, to amend Agreement #29-395-29, to increase the amount payable to County by $37,702 from $37,702 to a new total payment limit of $75,404 with no change in the original term of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment agreement will result in an increase of $37,702 to a new total of $75,404 from the California Department of Public Health, for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

The allocation will be used to cover the cost of certain drugs, plus dispensing fees, for eligible low income persons with AIDS and/or AIDS related complexes. These funds may not be used to cover patient monitoring, laboratory testing, or other medical services for persons receiving any of the drugs. The County may make provisions for co-payment by patients, commensurate with the patient's ability to pay.

BACKGROUND:

On September 15, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-395-29 with the California Department of Public Health, Office of AIDS, to cover the cost of certain drugs which have been included in the AIDS Drug Program by the State and determined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prolong the life of a person with AIDS, for eligible low income persons who are infected with HIV and/or persons with AIDS and related complexes who meet certain criteria, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017. This Contract included mutual indemnification.

Approval of Standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-395-30 will allow additional funding due to an increase of Legislative appropriations to the ADAP Program, for the County's AIDS Drug Program, to cover cost associated with administration of ADAP enrollment screening and recertification process, through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County AIDS Drug Program will not be able to provide administration of ADAP enrollment screening and recertification process.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
