RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Agreement #29-826 (State #19-10295) with the California Department of Public Health, including indemnification of the State, to allow County to receive reimbursement for HIV prevention services provided to County resident under the Pre-Exposure Assistance Program (PrEP-AP) services, for the period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021.   

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result the County being reimbursed at the Medicare Reimbursement Rate for PrEP-AP services not covered by health insurance. No County funds are required.  







BACKGROUND:

In order to reduce the incidences of HIV infection among high-risk populations, the California Department of Public Health is implementing a PrEP-AP Program to assist at risk individuals with 1) PrEP-AP related medical costs for uninsured clients; and (2) PrEP-AP related medical co-pays, deductibles, and drug costs not covered by the client’s health insurance or the manufacturer's assistance program for insured clients.   
  
Approval of Standard Agreement #29-826 will allow the County receive reimbursement for PrEP-AP services provided to residents of Contra Costa County through December 31, 2021. This agreement includes full indemnification of the State.  
  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive the necessary funding to support the reduction in transmission of HIV prevention services.
