Subject:Novation Contract #74–370–2 with Milhous Children’s Services, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
placement services to eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries less than 21 years of age, who meet the medical necessity
criteria of their Mental Health Plan, and who have been discharged from a hospital or have failed in other placements.
On August 4, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–370 (as amended by Contract Amendment
Agreement #74–370–1) with Milhous Children’s Services, Inc. for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30,
2010, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010, for the provision of TBS to
County referred-clients at its facility in Nevada City.
Approval of Novation Contract #74–370–2 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2011.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, children who participate in the EPSDT Supplemental Specialty Mental Health
services will not receive mandated TBS services from this contractor, and may require services at higher levels of
placement.
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 program outcomes include an increase in positive social
and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
