RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-957 with Public Health Institute, a nonprofit corporation, to pay County an amount not to exceed $65,000 for County’s Substance Use Navigator services and participation in the California Bridge Program, which ensures people with substance use disorder receive 24/7 high-quality care in every California hospital by 2025, for the period from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $65,000 in funding by Public Health Institute for participation in the California Bridge Program. (No County match required)

BACKGROUND:

In collaboration with the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) and Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services, the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) will develop and pilot a strategy to sustain Substance Use Navigator services under the California Bridge Program. Program outcomes include developing a mechanism to utilize Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) funding and implement claiming, assist CCHP in meeting their National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) incentive by tracking pharmaceutical prescriptions for opioid medications, implement Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) reimbursement options based on phase 2 outcome and identification, and develop report tracking Emergency Department utilization directly related to opioid use.

Approval of this Agreement #28-957 will allow County to receive funding for County’s Substance Use Navigator services and participation in the California Bridge Program, through January 31, 2022. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, County will not receive funding to participate in the California Bridge Program.
