APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24-680-39 with Telecare Corporation, a corporation, effective January 1, 2021, to amend Contract #24-680-38, to increase the payment limit by $93,247, from $1,815,818 to a new payment limit of $1,909,065, with no change in the term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $93,247 and will be funded by 71% Mental Health Realignment ($66,205) and 19% Hospital Enterprise Fund I ($17,717), and 10% County General Fund ($9,325) revenues. (No rate increase)

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing gero-psychiatric services and subacute care for Severely and Persistently Mentally Ill (SPMI) County residents at Contractor’s Villa Fairmont Mental Health Center, Garfield Neuro-Behavioral Center, Gladman Psychiatric Health Facility, and Morton Bakar Center. This contract is part of the Department’s cost saving plan to reduce the number of high-cost State hospital beds by developing alternative placements.

On May 26, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-680-38 with Telecare Corporation in the amount of $1,815,818 for the provision of mental health gero-psychiatric services and sub-acute care for SPMI patients for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-680-39 will allow the contractor to provide additional services at Garfield Neuro-Behavioral Center client(s) with a major cognitive disorder(s) due to traumatic brain injuries through June 30, 2021.
