RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-271-19(16) with Ena Rios Corp, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $284,000, to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $284,000 over a two-year period and will be 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. This contractor has been providing Medi-Cal specialty mental health services to the county since July 2006.

On June 16, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-271-19(14) with Ena Rios, LCSW in an amount not to exceed $252,000 for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.

On December 8, 2020 the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-271-19(15) with Ena Rios, LCSW, effective December 1, 2020, to increase the rates with no change in the payment limit or term.

Approval of Contract #74-271-19(16) will allow this contractor to continue providing Medi-Cal specialty mental health services through June 30, 2024.

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.
