RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24–794–8(25) with John Muir Behavioral Health, a non-profit corporation, effective February 15, 2020, to amend Contract #24-794-8(22) to increase the payment limit by $1,111,768 from $3,020,781 to a new payment limit of $4,132,549, with no change in the term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded by 100% Mental Health Realignment funds. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On June 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–794–8(22), with John Muir Behavioral Health Center for the provision of inpatient psychiatric hospital services to County-referred children, adolescents and adults, including mutual indemnification, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization and service units during the term of the Contract were higher than originally anticipated.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24–794–8(25) will allow the Contractor to provide inpatient psychiatric services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County’s mental health clients will not receive inpatient psychiatric services from Contractor’s facility.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcome: “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include a decrease in the need for inpatient care and placement at a lower level of care.
