RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, as follows: (1) Cancellation Agreement #77-396-1 with KYO Autism Therapy, LLC, a limited liability partnership, effective at the end of business on February 28, 2023; and (2) Contract #77-396-2 with KYO Autism Therapy, LLC, a limited liability partnership, in an amount not to exceed $600,000, to provide Behavioral Health Treatment – Applied Behavioral Analysis (BHT-ABA) services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members and County recipients, for the period March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $600,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized BHT-ABA health care services including, but not limited to; treatment plans to improve the functioning of CCHP members with pervasive development disorder or autism under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been part of the CCHP Provider Network providing BHT-ABA services since December 2021.

On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-396 with KYO Autism Therapy, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $600,000, for the provision of BHT-ABA services for CCHP members and County recipients for the period December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2024.

In consideration of the contractor’s agreement to continue providing services and the departments need to increase rates to maintain an adequate network for CCHP members to meet the California Department of Health Care Services and the California Department of Managed Health Care mandates, the department and contractor have agreed to (1) mutual cancellation of the current contract in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination), of the contract (Cancellation Agreement #77-396-1) will accomplish this cancellation, and (2) establish a new contract with the correct terms and conditions for the next three years.

Under new contract #77-396-2, this contractor will provide BHT-ABA services for CCHP members and County recipients from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this cancellation and new contract are not approved, certain specialized behavioral health treatment including applied behavioral analysis services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided.
