RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-475-9(3) with Paul Kramer, MFT, A Professional Corporation, effective March 1, 2017, to amend Contract #74-475-9(2), to increase the payment limit by $185,000, from $40,000 to a new payment limit of $225,000, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 50% by Federal Medi-Cal and 50% State. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

In December 2016, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #74-475-9(2) with Paul Kramer, MFT, A Professional Corporation, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018, for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services.  
  


BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the Contract was higher than originally anticipated. Approval of Contract Amendment #74-475-9(3) will allow the Contractor to provide additional mental health services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, services provided to Contra Costa Mental Health Plan Medi-Cal beneficiaries could be negatively impacted, including access to services, choice of providers, cultural competency, language capacity, geographical locations of service providers, and waiting lists.
