DHCS will pay the County an amount to be calculated based on enrollment of Medi-Cal members each month. No County match is required.
Since 2003, through the Local Initiative Program, the State of California has given the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) funds necessary to provide health care services to eligible Medi-Cal recipients within the scope of Medi-Cal benefits. These services were formerly provided under Standard Agreement #29-772 and in 2006 were broken out under this new Amendment Agreement #29-784, for State Supported services.
On August 15, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement Amendment #29-784 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #29-784-1 through #29-784-11) with the California DHCS for the period from August 1, 2003 through December 31, 2016. Subsequent amendments #29-784-1 through #29-784-11 have been issued by DHCS to amend Standard Agreement #29-784 to add funds, modify rates and extend the term through December 31, 2022.
Approval of Standard Agreement #29-784-12 and Amendment #29-784-13 will allow the County to continue providing Medi-Cal State Supported services that are not approved for Federal funding, through December 31, 2023.
If this amendment is not approved, funding for continuous services to County Medi-Cal recipients will not be provided.
