RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #29-391-18 (State #17-10797, A-1) with the California Department of Public Health, Office of AIDS, to extend the termination date from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, for continuation of the AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No change in the payment to County, which will not exceed $25,727 per client per calendar year. Payment is provided for specific services at established Medi-Cal rates. The total funded amount will be determined by the number of "slots" awarded and services provided. (No county match required)

BACKGROUND:

The Department's Public Health Division, AIDS Program staff is experienced in providing case management services for people with HIV. The AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program goals are to lessen the financial cost of care which, for people with AIDS and AIDS related Complex (ARC), are historically driven by hospitalizations and other institution-based care, and to provide the most humane and appropriate levels of care in the most appropriate setting for the client. Participation in the program allows the Department's AIDS Program to offer case managed home and community-based care to a greater number of clients in the County.

On March 27, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #29-391-16 with the State to allow County’s Public Health Division to provide direct home health care services to AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program clients through December 31, 2020, including agreeing to mutually indemnify.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #29-391-18 will allow the Contractor to continue providing AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program services, through December 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Amendment Agreement is not approved, County will not be able to provide AIDS Medi-Cal waiver Program services for an additional year.
