RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24–794–12(8) with BHC Fremont Hospital, Inc., a corporation, effective May 1, 2019, to amend Contract #24-794-12(2) [as amended by Contract Amendment Agreements #24-794-12(4) and #24-794-12(6)] to increase the payment limit by $250,000 from $1,278,723 to a new payment limit of $1,528,723, with no change in the term of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Assembly Bill (AB) 757, (Chapter 633, Statutes of 1994), authorized the transfer of state funding for Fee-For-Service/Medi-Cal acute psychiatric inpatient hospital services from the State Department of Health Services to the State Department of Mental Health. On January 1, 1995, the Department of Mental Health transferred these funds and the responsibility for authorization and funding of Medi-Cal acute psychiatric inpatient hospital services to counties that chose to participate in this program.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In June, 2018, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #24–794–12(2), later amended by Amendment Agreements #24–794–12(4) and #24–794–12(6), with BHC Fremont Hospital, Inc. for the provision of inpatient psychiatric hospital services to County-referred children, adolescents and adults for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24–794–12(8) will allow the Contractor to provide additional inpatient psychiatric services through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County’s mental health clients will not receive additional inpatient psychiatric services from Contractor’s facility.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcome: (5) “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include a decrease in the need for inpatient care and placement at a lower level of care.
