RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-592-6 with Jennifer Lee Miles, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $351,438, to provide outpatient psychiatric care services to children and adolescents, for the period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $351,438 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal ($175,719) and 50% Mental Health Realignment Funds ($175,719) revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing mental health services to children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems to improve school performance and reduce unsafe behavioral practices. The County, on behalf of its Behavioral Health Division, has been contracting with Jennifer Lee Miles, M.D., since April 1, 2019 for her expertise in providing outpatient psychiatric care to children and adolescents.  



BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
On May 24, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-592-4 with Jennifer Lee Miles, M.D, in an amount of $319,488 to provide outpatient psychiatric services to children and adolescents, for the period from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023.  
  
On June 21, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement #74-592-5, effective June 1, 2022, to increase the payment limit by $31,950 to a new payment limit of $351,438 and increase the hourly rate from $192.00 to a new hourly rate of $211.20, with no change in the original term of April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023.  
  
Approval of Contract #74-592-6 will allow the contractor to continue providing psychiatric services through March 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary psychiatric services needed for patient care will not be available or will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract 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).
