RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74-441-3 with Matthew Littlefield, M.D., a self-employed individual, in an amount not to exceed $274,400, to provide outpatient psychiatric care services for mentally ill adults in East County, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

For a number of years, the County has contracted with Medical, Dental and Mental Health specialists to provide specialized medical services. On May 6, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-441-2 with Matthew Littlefield, M.D., for the provision of outpatient psychiatric care services for mentally ill adults in East County, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Approval of Contract #74-441-3 will allow Contractor to continue providing outpatient psychiatric care services for mentally ill adults in East County through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring psychiatric care services will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
