RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Agreement #72–070-3 with the County of Plumas, a government agency, to pay the County of Plumas (Host County), in an amount not to exceed $250,000, to participate in the Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) and Targeted Case Management (TCM) programs, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Agreement is funded 100% by County MAA/TCM funds.

BACKGROUND:

Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) is a program which allows local governing agencies (LGA), including Contra Costa County, to receive federal reimbursement for activities necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the Medi-Cal State plan. TCM allows LGAs to receive federal funds for providing services which assist a Medi-Cal individual in a defined target population to gain access to needed medical, social, educational, and other services. To participate in the MAA and TCM programs, each LGA must pay a participation fee. The participation fee is paid to the "host" (Plumas County). The "host" county administers the supporting funds for the state program that oversees the MAA/TCM programs and for the activities of the LGA consortium. The "host" county invoices each participating LGA on an annual basis. The participation fee is calculated yearly from base year, claiming amounts for county-based MAA/TCM for each participating LGA.

On December 2, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #72-070-2, with the County of Plumas to provide MAA/TCM host county services, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

Approval of Agreement #72-070-3 allows the County to continue participation in the MAA/TCM program through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, County will not be a participant in the LGA consortium, and will not receive the financial support needed to provide MAA/TCM services for County’s Medi-Cal clients.
