RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #77-100-2 with East Bay ABA Group, LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000, to provide applied behavioral analysis (ABA) services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members for the period September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,200,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II allocations. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized ABA services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County, providing services for members with pervasive developmental disorders or autism including, but not limited to, treatment plans and staff to providing services in the following licensed categories: licensed family therapy, social work, speech and language pathology, educational psychology, and audiology to improve the functioning of members. This contractor has been a part of the CCHP Provider Network providing ABA services to CCHP members since August 1, 2017.

On September 10, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #77-100-1 with East Bay ABA Group, LLC in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, to provide ABA services for CCHP members for the period September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2021.

Approval of Contract #77-100-2 will allow the contractor to continue to provide ABA services for CCHP members through August 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized ABA health care services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided.
