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. The county has been contracting with Clifford Owens, LMFT (dba Odyssey for Personal Wellness) since August 2019.  
  
In June 2020, the County Administrator approved, and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #74-475-98(2) with Clifford Owens, LMFT (dba: Odyssey for Personal Wellness), in an amount not to exceed $195,000 for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.  
  
On January 11, 2022, the County Administrator approved, and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract Amendment Agreement #74-475-98(3), effective January 1, 2022, with Clifford Owens, LMFT (dba: Odyssey for Personal Wellness), to increase the contract payment limit by $12,000 to a new contract payment limit of $207,000, to allow the contractor to provide additional Medi-Cal specialty mental health services through June 30, 2022.

On May 24, 2022, the County Administrator approved, and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract Amendment Agreement #74-475-98(4), effective May 15, 2022, with Clifford Owens, LMFT (dba: Odyssey for Personal Wellness), to increase the contract payment limit by $8,000 to a new contract payment limit of $215,000, to allow the contractor to provide additional Medi-Cal specialty mental health services through June 30, 2022.  
  
Approval of Contract #74-475-98(5) will allow the 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.
