RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22250 to add one permanent full-time Clerk-Senior Level (JWXC) (represented) position at salary plan and grade 3RX-1033 ($3,307 - $4,223) in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $89,436 with pension costs of $17,992 already included. The cost will be funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment.

BACKGROUND:

The department is requesting to add one permanent full-time Clerk-Senior Level position in the Behavioral Health Division's Provider Services Unit. This position will track disallowances, create disallowance reports, correct errors in the billing system, communicate and work with mental health plan providers (County and contracted), as well as other departments such as Information Technology, Patient Accounting, Finance and Utilization Review. This position will also be involved with processing and tracking data from staff credentialing and privileging packets. Clerk-Senior Level is the appropriate classification to perform these duties.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Behavioral Health Division will not have adequate staff to efficiently address billing disallowances and track credential packets necessary to be in compliance for State Medi-Cal and Contra Costa Mental Health Plan.
