RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-341-93(9) with Allison Smith, MFT, a self-employed individual, effective March 1, 2023, to amend Contract #74-341-93(8), to increase the payment limit by $24,000, from $206,000 to a new payment limit of $230,000, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional expenditures of up to $24,000 and will be funded as budgeted by the department in FY 2022-2023, 50% by Federal Medi-Cal ($12,000) and 50% by State Mental Health Realignment ($12,000). (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On January 14, 1997, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution #97/17, authorizing the Health Services Director to contract with the Department of Health Care Services (DMHC) to assume responsibility for Medi-Cal specialty mental health services. Responsibility for outpatient specialty mental health services involves contracts with individual, group and organizational providers to deliver these services. This contractor has provided Medi-Cal specialty mental health services to Contra Costa County beneficiaries since November of 2011.

On June 8, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-341-93(8) with Allison Smith, MFT, in an amount not to exceed $206,000, to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services for beneficiaries in East and Central Contra Costa County ages 11 years and older, for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-341-93(9) will allow the contractor to provide additional outpatient mental health services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the contractor will not be able to provide additional outpatient mental health services as requested by the Division.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The recommendation supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: (1) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (2) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
