RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #74-271-86(9) with Alex Smirnoff, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $140,000, to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 50% by Federal Medi-Cal and 50% by State Mental Health Realignment. (No 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 February 14, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-271-86(8) with Alex Smirnoff, M.D. for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from February 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

Approval of Contract #74-271-86(9) will allow the contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2020.

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.
