RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Agreement #28-365 for the period of April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 and Agreement #28-365-1 for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), for the Medi-Cal County Inmate Program (MCIP).

FISCAL IMPACT:

(A) The County will be responsible for reimbursing DHCS an amount not to exceed $50,000 for the nonfederal share of DHCS’ administrative costs associated with administering MCIP pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section(s) 14053.7(j) and 14053.8(h) and Government Code sections 26605.6(c)(1)(B)(ii) and 26605.7 (e)(B)(ii).

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

(B) The County will be eligible for reimbursement for inpatient services provided to County inmates at the Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service rate (Federal Participation amount only). Net potential revenue from both agreements is estimated to be $750,000.

BACKGROUND:

The Medi-Cal County Inmate Program (MCIP) is a fee-for-service program that authorizes reimbursement for inpatient health care services provided by the County to Medi-Cal eligible County inmates in the Detention Facilities. The purpose of this agreement is to set forth the terms by which the County must abide in order to participate in the MCIP.

Approval of Agreement #28-365 and Agreement #28-365-1 will allow the County to participate in the MCIP through June 30, 2018. These agreements include agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State for any and all claims arising out of performance under these agreements.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these agreements are not approved, the County will not be reimbursed by the State for inpatient health services it provides to Medi-Cal eligible County inmates.
