RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, the following: (1) Amendment Agreement #29-533-3 (State #12-89359, A01) with the California Department of Health Care Services, to change the end date from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2017; and (2) Standard Agreement #29-533-4 (State #17-94578) for continuation mental health services to Medi-Cal eligible residents of Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County will be paid for services in accordance with Chapter 3, Part 2, Division 5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code along with Sections 5600, 5750, 5650 and Government Code Sections 11138, 14705, and 14718. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

On October 1, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-533-2 with the California Department of Health Care Services for the provision of managed mental health care for Medi-Cal eligible residents of Contra Costa County through June 30, 2018, which included agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the agreement.

The goal of the managed care project is to provide covered mental health services, including medication support, day treatment intensive, day rehabilitation, crisis intervention, crisis stabilization, adult residential treatment, crisis residential, psychiatric health facility and targeted case management services. Covered mental health services include psychiatric inpatient treatment and early periodic screening, diagnosis and treatment (EPSDT) supplemental specialty mental health services.

In order to avoid overlapping contract terms, the State is amending the prior contract to change the end date from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2017. Approval of Standard Agreement #29-533-4 will allow the County to continue to receive funds to support the Managed Mental Health Care Project through June 30, 2022 to ensure continuity of specialty mental health services to Medi-Cal eligible residents in Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the amendment and standard agreement are not approved, the County will not be able to continue providing managed mental health care services to Medi-Cal eligible residents of Contra Costa County.
