BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
drug use, become self-sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals.
On January 8, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–196–14, with Anka Behavioral Health,
Incorporated, for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, which included a six-month automatic
extension through December 31, 2013, for the provision of Medi-Cal drug abuse treatment services.
Due to lengthy negotiations and turnover amongst Contractor’s administrative staff, the Division was not able to
process a renewal contract in a timely manner. Therefore, the Division is requesting a retroactive start date of
January 1, 2014 to reimburse Contractor for Drug Medi-Cal services provided in good faith to County’s Clients.
Approval of Contract #74–196–15 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County residents with co-occurring substance abuse and psychiatric disorders may
not receive outpatient substance abuse treatment services, including individual counseling treatment and group
counseling treatment services.
