RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-680-32 with Telecare Corporation, a corporation, effective April 1, 2017, to amend Contract #24-680-31, to increase the payment limit by $575,000, from $1,352,909 to a new payment limit of $1,927,909, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 81% Mental Health Realignment; 19% Hospital Utilization Review. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On November 1, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-680-31 with Telecare Corporation for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, for the provision of mental health gero-psychiatric services and sub-acute care for Severely and Persistently Mentally Ill patients.

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 Agreement #24-680-32 will allow Contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not be compensated for additional services needed by County’s Behavioral Health Services Division.
