RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-475-86(2) with Allied Medical and Consultation Services, P.C., effective May 1, 2019, to amend Contract #74-475-86, as amended by Amendment Agreement 74-475-86(1), to increase the payment limit by $371,000, from $466,667 to a new payment limit of $837,667, with no change in original term of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% State Mental Health Realignment funds.

BACKGROUND:

On January 14, 1997, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 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 June 12, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-475-86, as amended by Amendment Agreement 74-475-86(1), with Allied Medical and Consultation Services for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-475-86(2) will allow Contractor to provide additional Medi-Cal specialty mental health services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment 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.
