RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-475-19(12) with Ena Rios, LCSW (dba Ena Rios Corporation), a corporation, effective May 1, 2018, to amend Contract #74-271-19(11), to increase the payment limit by $130,000, from $100,000 to a new payment limit of $230,000, with no change in the term of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% State Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

In October 2016, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #74-271-19(11), with Ena Rios, LCSW (dba Ena Rios Corporation) for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.

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 #74-271-19(12) will allow the contractor to provide additional mental health services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: (CONT'D)

If this amendment is not approved, services provided to Contra Costa Mental Health Plan Medi-Cal beneficiaries could be negatively impacted, including access to services, choice of providers, cultural competency, language capacity, geographical locations of service providers, and waiting lists.
