RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #24-794-20 including mutual indemnification with St. Helena Hospital (dba Adventist Health St. Helena), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $50,000, to provide inpatient psychiatric hospital services for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which includes a six-month automatic extension in an amount of $25,000 through December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $50,000 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Assembly Bill (AB) 757, (Chapter 633, Statutes of 1994), authorized the transfer of state funding for Fee-For-Service/Medi-Cal (FFS/MC) acute psychiatric inpatient hospital services from the Department of Health Services (DHCS) to the Department of Mental Health (DMH). On January 1, 1995, the DMH transferred these funds and the responsibility for authorization and funding of Medi-Cal acute psychiatric inpatient hospital services to counties that chose to participate in this program.

Under new contract #24–794–20, this contractor will provide inpatient psychiatric services for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. This contract contains mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s mental health clients will not receive needed inpatient psychiatric services from the contractor’s facility.
