SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand) to execute on behalf
of the County, Novation Contract #74-083-13 with La Cheim School, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an
amount not to exceed $552,369, to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS), for the period from July
1, 2006 through June 30, 2007. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December
31, 2007, in an amount not to exceed $276,185.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 50% by Federal FFP, 48% by State Early and Periodic Diagnosis, Screening and
Therapy (EPSDT), and 2%by Mental Health Realignment.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This TBS program 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 outcomes include all goals
identified by Children's Statewide System of Care guidelines including an increase in family satisfaction -
as measured by the Parent Satisfaction Survey, decreased use of acute care system; and placement at
discharge to a lower level of care.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The State Department of Mental Health has been working in collaboration with the County's Mental Health
Division to establish a mandated program to provide TBS to children ages 0-21 years of age, who
participate in the EPSDT Supplemental Specialty Mental Health Services. This program will provide
services to eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries under 21 years of age who meet the Mental Health Plan medical
necessity criteria, who are members of the certified class and who meet the criteria for needing these
services.
On February 7, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-083-12 with La Cheim
School, Inc. for the period from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006, (which included a six-month automatic
extension through December 31, 2006) for the provision of Therapeutic Behavioral Services to County
referred clients ages 0-21 years of age.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-083-13 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and
allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2007.
