RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-365-4 (State #20-10215) with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $4,700,000, for the Medi-Cal County Inmate Program for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County will be responsible for reimbursing DHCS for the nonfederal share of DHCS’ administrative costs associated with administering Medi-Cal County Inmate Program (MCIP) pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section(s) 14053.7(j) and 14053.8(h) and Government Code sections 26605.6(c)(1)(B)(ii) and 26605.7 (e)(B)(ii). Additionally, the County will receive reimbursement for inpatient services provided to County inmates at the Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service rate rather than absorb the full cost of inpatient services through interdepartmental funding.
BACKGROUND:
The MCIP is a fee-for-service program that authorizes reimbursement for inpatient health care services provided by the County to Medi-Cal eligible County inmates in the Detention Facilities. The purpose of this agreement is to set forth the terms the County must abide by in order to participate in the MCIP.
