FROM:
Costa
DATE: Decembet 18, 1995 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #24-794-3 (1) with CPC
Walnut Creek Hospital
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee
(Lorna Bastian) to execute on behalf of the County, Standard Contract
#24-794-3 (1) with CPC Walnut Creek Hospital, for the period from
January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996, for Fee-For-Service
(FFS) /Medi-Cal acute psychiatric inpatient services.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: r
The State allocation for acute psychiatric inpatient services for the
period January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996 is $1, 446, 394 . This
represents the projected cost of FFS acute psychiatric inpatients
based on historical State General Funds costs and anticipated growth
in Medi-Cal beneficiaries. The fee rates set forth in this Contract
are the same as the prior year.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Chapter 633, Statutes of 1994, AB 757, authorized the transfer of
state funding for Fee-For-Service/Medi-Cal (FFS/MC) acute psychiatric
inpatient hospital services from the Department of Health Services to
the Department of Mental Health (DMH) . On January 1, 1995, the DMH
transferred these funds and the responsibility for authorization and
funding of Medi-Cal acute psychiatric inpatient hospital services to
counties that chose to participate in this program.
The State issued its Medi-Cal Managed Mental Health Care Plan on June
1, 1994, which provided for statewide implementation of a single
Managed Mental Health Care Plan in each county. The implementation of
the State's Plan, a capitated mental health system, is being
accomplished through a series of planned phases. The first phase of
this Plan was the transfer to the counties of the acute psychiatric
inpatient FFS system and consolidating it with the existing county
mental health system.
On July 12, 1994, the Board of Supervisors notified the State of its
intent to function as the Local Mental Health Care Plan and to assume
the responsibility of inpatient consolidation.

The County has in the past contracted with CPC Walnut Creek Hospital
for the provision of acute psychiatric services for children and
adolescents, as the County does not admit children or adolescents to
its psychiatric units at Merrithew Memorial Hospital (by Board of
Supervisors Policy) . The Department proposes to continue to contract
with this facility for these services under inpatient consolidation.
On December 13 , 1994, the Board of Supervisors approved contract #24-
794-3 with CPC Walnut Creek Hospital, for the period January 1, 1995
through December 31, 1995, for provision of acute psychiatric
inpatient hospital services. Approval of Contract #24-794-3 (1) will
allow the Contractor to continue to provide services through December
31, 1996.
