RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #24-949-39(15) with A Step Forward Child Abuse Treatment and Training Programs, A Marriage, Family and Child Counseling Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $296,231, to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% State Mental Health Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On January 14, 1997, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution #97/17, authorizing the Health Services Director to contract with the State Department of Mental Health, (now known as the Department of Health Care Services) to assume responsibility for Medi-Cal specialty mental health services. Responsibility for outpatient specialty mental health services involves contracts with individual, group and organizational providers to deliver these services.



BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On July 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-949-39(14), with A Step Forward Child Abuse Treatment and Training Programs, A Marriage, Family and Child Counseling Corporation for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020.  
  
Approval of Contract #24-949-39(15) will allow the Contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, services provided to Contra Costa Mental Health Plan Medi-Cal beneficiaries could be negatively impacted, including access to services, choice of providers, cultural competency, language capacity, geographical locations of service providers, and waiting lists.
