sion of outpatient heroin (methadone) detoxification services to County residents
eligible under the Basic Adult Care (BAC) program with a $2,500 increase in the
contract payment limit.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this extension will result in an increase in the automatic extension
payment limit of $2,500, from $17,500 to a new total eight-month extension period
payment limit of $20,000. The source of funding for this contract is the Contra
Costa Health Plan. The funds have been contracted to the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental
Health Division for the purpose of reimbursing the Division for the provision of
these services. These funds appear in the approved Annual State Short-Doyle Drug
Abuse Program Budget as BAC revenue.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On April 9, 1985, the Board approved Contract 4624-336 with California Health
Associates , Inc. for outpatient heroin detoxification services . Contract 4624-336
contained an automatic six-month contract extension through December 31, 1985. On
December 17, 1985, the Board approved Contract Extension Agreement 4624-336-1 to
extend the contract through January 31, 1986.
It is recommended that the contract be extended for one additional month to permit
additional time to complete contract review and processing for Board approval of
the 1985-86 Novation Contract and to permit sufficient cash flow to maintain
current service program operations . California Health Associates, Inc. is the sole
provider of this service in the County.
