RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to issue a 30-day advance written notice to Alex Smirnoff, M.D., an individual, to terminate Contract #74-271-86(9) for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, effective at the close of business on August 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

On July 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-271-86(9) with Alex Smirnoff, M.D., for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval by the Board of Supervisors will allow the Health Services Department to issue a thirty-day advance written notice to the Contractor, in accordance with General Conditions, Paragraph 5. (Termination) that the Contract is terminated effective at the close of business on August 31, 2019. This Doctor will now be working directly under John Muir Behavioral Health. They will bill and be paid via a different contract, so cancelling this individual contract will not change the level of mental health services being provided to clients.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this termination is not approved, County will not properly terminate the contract, in accordance with the contract terms.
