RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-429-64 with Ujima Family Recovery Services, a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2017, to amend Contract #24-429-62, to increase the payment limit by $304,597, from $3,694,088 to a new payment limit of $3,998,685, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 14% by Federal Perinatal Set-Aside, 43% by Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) funds, and 43% by Realignment Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) Non-Federal Share. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–429–62 with Ujima Family Recovery Services, to provide residential and outpatient treatment for pregnant and parenting women and their small children for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Amendment #24-429-64 will allow the contractor to increase the rates under the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery Service (DMC-ODS) waiver, which have been significantly low for residential facilities than initially anticipated. Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) approved the rate increase on May 28, 2018 to be retroactive to July 1, 2017.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” community outcome by providing parenting education, stability, and safety for mothers (and their children) and pregnant women who are alcohol and drug dependent, while they are in substance abuse treatment. Expected outcomes include delivery of drug-free babies, decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, reduction in the number of relapses, and creation of a sober social network.
