Subject:Agreement #29-533-2 with the California Department of Health Care Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Managed Mental Health Care for Medi-Cal Eligible residents of Contra Costa County through April 30, 2013.
The goal of the managed care project is to provide covered specialty mental health services to eligible Medi-Cal
beneficiaries of Contra Costa County, including medication support, day treatment intensive, day rehabilitation, crisis
intervention, crisis stabilization, adult residential treatment, crisis residential, targeted case management services,
psychiatric inpatient treatment and early periodic screening, diagnosis and treatment (EPSDT) supplemental specialty
mental health services.
Approval of this Agreement #29-533-2 will allow the County to continue to receive funds to support the Managed
Mental Health Care Project through June 30, 2018, and will to ensure continuity of specialty mental health services.
This contract reflects the amount payable by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) on a state-wide basis,
not the amount for Contra Costa County. The DHCS staff provided a sample detailed fiscal worksheet of the
calculations for the contract amount to counties. Several county staff voiced concerns about their particular amount
and requested a more in depth individual county review. The counties also requested a procedure to update the
amount. DHCS has decided to use the statewide Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Program services appropriation
amount as the basis for each county’s contract amount.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Agreement is not approved, the County will not be able to continue providing managed mental health care
services to Medi-Cal eligible residents of Contra Costa County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
