RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24-927-27 with Community Health for Asian Americans, a non-profit corporation, effective March 1, 2020, to amend Novation Contract #24-927-26, to increase the payment limit by $45,980, from $1,724,233 to a new payment limit of $1,770,213, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $67,259 from $862,116 to a new payment limit of $929,375 through December 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded by 49% Federal Medi-Cal; 49% Mental Health Realignment; 2% Non-Medi-Cal Mental Health Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing school and community based mental health services, including: assessments, individual, group and family therapy; medication support, case management, outreach, and crisis intervention services, to an underserved Asian population and will result in greater home, community, and school success.

On July 23, 2019 (as corrected on October 8, 2019), the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-927-26 with Community Health for Asian Americans for the provision of mental health services including wraparound and outpatient treatment to children in West County, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-927-27 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not receive the negotiated rate increase.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) Program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) and a decrease in juvenile offender recidivism as measured by probation database information.
