RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-365-2 (State #18-95034) with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), to pay the County an amount not to exceed $1,407,514, for the Medi-Cal County Inmate Program for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County will be responsible for reimbursing DHCS for the nonfederal share of DHCS’ administrative costs associated with administering Medi-Cal County Inmate Program (MCIP) pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section(s) 14053.7(j) and 14053.8(h) and Government Code sections 26605.6(c)(1)(B)(ii) and 26605.7 (e)(B)(ii). Additionally, the County will receive reimbursement for inpatient services provided to County inmates at the Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service rate rather than absorb the full cost of inpatient services through interdepartmental funding. (6% County match)

BACKGROUND:

The MCIP is a fee-for-service program that authorizes reimbursement for inpatient health care services provided by the County to Medi-Cal eligible County inmates in the Detention Facilities. The purpose of this agreement is to set forth the terms the County must abide by in order to participate in the MCIP.

Approval of this Agreement #28-365-2 will allow County to participate in the MCIP through June 30, 2019. This agreement includes agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State for any and all claims arising out of performance under this agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not be reimbursed by the State for inpatient health services it provides to Medi-Cal eligible County inmates.
