RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-575-11 with Lincoln, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,773,422, to provide mental health services and multi-dimensional family therapy for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents and their families, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $886,711.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $1,773,422 and will be funded by 34% Federal Medi-Cal ($600,919), 32% Mental Health Services Act (MHSA Uninsured ($571,583), 26% MHSA Match ($467,209), 7% Mental Health Realignment ($121,555), and 1% Measure X funds (12,156).

BACKGROUND:

The County, on behalf of its Behavioral Health Services Department, has been contracting with Lincoln since July 2018, to provide mental health services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 18, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–575-9 with Lincoln, in an amount not to exceed $1,612,202, to provide mental health services and multi-dimensional family therapy for SED adolescents and their families, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022 in an amount not to exceed $806,101.

On February 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement #74-575-10 with Lincoln, to adjust the per minute billing rates, with no change in the original payment limit of $1,612,202 or term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 and no change in the six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022 in an amount not to exceed $806,101.

The contract renewal request was delayed due to pending approval of the new contract language, which has been added to certain contracts to ascertain cohesiveness and alignment with State regulations.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-575-11 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED adolescents and their families may experience reduced or discontinued behavioral health services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Contract supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) and placement at discharge to a lower level of care.
