By: Ginger Marieiro, Contracts Administrator Contra
Costa
DATEt July 23, 1997 County
SUBJECT: Approve Standard Agreement (Amendment) #29-202-61 with the State
Department of Health Services for Family Planning Services
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 Agreement (Amendment) #29-202-61 (State #94-
20156-A4) effective July 1, 1996 with the State Department of
Health Services to amend Standard Agreement #29-202-56 (effective
July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1997) for the County's Family
Planning Services. This amendment decreases the payment limit by
$30, 376, from $448, 904 to a new payment limit of $418 , 528.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This amendment decreases funding by $30, 376 for Fiscal Year 1996-
97, to reflect the change in the method for submitting claims to
the State. Under the new system, rather than a capitation rate,
the County. must bill (fee-for-service) through the Medi-Cal fiscal
Intermediary via the State's Electronic Data Service (EDS) .
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For many years the County has provided family planning services to
citizens of child-bearing age who would otherwise be unable to
obtain these services. Family planning services funded through
this contract are for persons who request such services through
County facilities.
Effective March 1, 1997, the State Department of Health Services
for Family Planning Services switched to a new method of
submitting claims whereby the County is required to bill Medi-Cal
on a fee-for-service basis. Previously the County had been
reimbursed by the State for a capitation rate. This amendment
reflects the pro-rated payment amount under the old billing system
for the period from July 1, 1996 through February 28, 1997, and is
a method for the State to disencumber unexpended funds.
Three sealed and certified copies of this Board Order should- be
returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the
State Department of Health Services.
