RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-363-1 with Point Comfort Underwriters, Inc. a subcontractor of the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement, to administer delivery and payment of healthcare services provided to unaccompanied refugee children at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for a period of one year commencing on November 1, 2019, and automatically renewing each year thereafter unless terminated by either party.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action. This non-financial agreement will allow the County to bill for services provided to unaccompanied refugee children at CCRMC.

BACKGROUND:

The United States Department of Health and Human Services funds local governmental agencies who provide medical services to unaccompanied refugee children with appropriate documentation of eligibility. CCRMC provides healthcare to unaccompanied refugee children who reside at the South West Key Program in Pleasant Hill.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 6, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-363 with Point Comfort Underwriters, Inc., to establish a system for unaccompanied children to be authorized for medical services at CCRMC and establish billing requirements in accordance with federal policies and procedures, for the period November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2019.

Approval of Agreement #28-363-1 will allow the County and the Contractor to continue to facilitate the system for unaccompanied children to be authorized for medical services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, unaccompanied refugee children will not have authorization for preventative medical services at CCRMC.
