Subject:Amendment #74-370-4 with Milhous Children’s Services, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Behavioral Services (TBS) to children who participate in the EPSDT Supplemental
Specialty Mental Health services. This program will provide emergency 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 November 15, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-370-3 with
Milhous Children’s Services, Inc. for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012,
which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, for the
provision of TBS to County-referred clients at its facility in Nevada City.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-370-4 will allow the Contractor to be
reimbursed for services provided due to higher than forecasted usage and to provide
additional TBS services through June 30, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment 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:
Not Applicable.
