RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74-341-36(6) with Salvador Lopez, MFT, an individual, in an amount not to exceed $120,000, to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% by State General Fund and 50% Federal Medi-Cal. (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. On June 3, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-341-36(5) with Salvador Lopez, MFT, for the provision of Medi-Cal mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015. Approval of Contract #74-341-36(6) will allow Contractor to continue providing Medi-Cal mental health services, through July 30, 2017.

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.
