RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-271-65(13) with Judith McIntyre, MFT, an individual, in an amount not to exceed $254,000 to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $254,000 over a 2 year period and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal ($127,000) and 50% State Mental Health Realignment ($127,000) revenues. (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. This Contractor has provided Medi-Cal specialty mental health services to Contra Costa County beneficiaries since 2007.

On July 9, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-271-65(12) with Judith McIntyre, MFT, in an amount not to exceed $220,000 for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #74-271-65(13) will allow this contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2023.

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.
