RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, as follows: (1) Cancellation Agreement #77-116-4 with Professional Healthcare at Home, LLC (dba Kindred at Home), a limited liability company, effective at the end of business on April 30, 2022; and (2) Contract #77-116-5 with Professional Healthcare at Home, LLC (dba Kindred at Home), a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $480,000, to provide home health care services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members and County recipients, for the period from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $480,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized home health care services, for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been in the CCHP Provider Network providing these services since September 2017.

On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-116-3 with Professional Healthcare at Home, LLC (dba Kindred at Home), in an amount not to exceed $375,000 for the provision of home health care and hospice services for CCHP members, for the period from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024.

Due to new Home Health rates under CalAIM, and in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination) of the contract, the department and contractor have agreed to a mutual cancellation of this contract. Approval of Cancellation Agreement #77-116-4 will accomplish this termination.

Approval of Contract #77-116-5 will allow the contractor to provide home health care services under the new CalAIM Home Health rates with the new contract term of May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized home health care services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided.
