SUBJECT:
Approval of Standard Contract #22-292-8 with Home Health Plus
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Wendel Brunner, M.D. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard
Contract #22-292-8 with Home Health Plus, in the amount of $50, 000,
for the period from August 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, for
provision of in-home attendant care to AIDS patients.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded by Federal Ryan White (Care Act, Title I)
and AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver funds. No County funds are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONSJBACRGROUND:
This project provides funding for in-home attendant care services
when a person with AIDS or ARC is unable to secure attendant care
which would allow them to remain in the home rather than an acute
care hospital. The contractor must attempt to collect from all
other sources of payment (e.g. , private health insurance held by the
client, Medi-Cal, Medicare, etc. ) before the County is billed for
these services.
Home Health Plus is one of the few agencies which is willing to
provide services at the rate that we are allowed to reimburse.
Approval of Standard Contract #22-292-8 will allow *Home Health Plus
to provide services to County's AIDS patients through June 30, 1997.
