RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-475-78(3) with Remarkable Marriage and Family Institute, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $930,000, to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

In January 2018, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #74-475-78 (as amended by #74-475-78(1) and #74-475-78(2) with Remarkable Marriage and Family Institute, for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019.

Approval of Contract #74-475-78(3) will allow Contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2021.

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.
