APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24-979-43 with Addiction Research and Treatment, Inc., a corporation, effective July 1, 2021, to amend Contract #24-979-42 to increase the payment limit by $186,441, from $5,919,828 to a new payment limit of $6,106,269, with no change in the term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in an increase in budgeted expenditures of up to $186,441 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% Mental Health Realignment Funds revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Addiction Research and Treatment, Inc., since October 1998 to provide methadone treatment services through its Methadone Maintenance Clinics Program in East and West Contra Costa County.

Approval of Amendment #24-979-43 will allow the contractor to increase the rates under the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery Service (DMC-ODS) waiver. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) approved the rate increase to be retroactive to July 1, 2021 and will allow the contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2022.
