RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #24-794-7(19) containing mutual indemnification with St. Helena Hospital, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $75,000, to provide inpatient psychiatric hospital services, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment Funds. (Rate increase)

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.

On February 12, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–794–7(18), for the provision of inpatient psychiatric hospital services for the period from October 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

Approval of Contract #24–794–7(19) will allow Contractor to provide inpatient psychiatric services through June 30, 2020. 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, County’s mental health clients will not receive needed inpatient psychiatric services from Contractor’s facility.
