SUBJECT: Approve Standard Agreement #29-391-9 with the State
Department of Health Services for the AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his Designee (Wendel Brunner) ,
to execute on behalf of the County, Standard Agreement #29-391-9 (State #00-91531)
with the State Department of Health Services (Office of AIDS) , in an amount, not to
exceed $13,209 per year, for the period of January 1, 2001 through December 31,
2003, for the AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The maximum amount payable per eligible client served under this agreement shall not
exceed $13,209 per year. Payment is provided for specific services at established
Medi-Cal rates. The total funded amount will be determined by the number of "slots"
awarded and services provided.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Department's Public Health Division AIDS Program staff is experienced in
providing case management services for people with HIV Disease. The AIDS Medi-Cal
Waiver Program goals are to lessen the financial cost of care which, for people with
AIDS and ARC, are historically driven by hospitalizations and other institution-
based care, and to provide the most humane and appropriate levels of care in the
most appropriate setting for the client. Participation in the program allows the
Department's AIDS Program to offer case managed home and community-based care to a
greater number of clients in the County.
Approval of this Standard Agreement with the State will allow the Public Health
Division to continue to provide direct home health care services to AIDS Medi-Cal
Waiver Program clients through December 31, 2003.
Three certified/sealed copies of this Board Order should be returned tb the
Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the State.
