By: Ginger Marieiro, Contracts Administrator
Costa
DATE: September 26, 1996 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #24-794-4 with
Ross Hospital
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &,BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee
(Donna Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County, Standard
Contract #24-794-4 with Ross Hospital, for the period from
September 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, for Fee-For-Service
(FFS) /Medi-Cal acute psychiatric inpatient services.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by acute psychiatric inpatient
consolidation funds.
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 State requires that counties contract with those hospitals
which are designated "safety net providers" and certain hospitals
designated as "traditional providers" . Therefore, the County is
required to contract with Ross Hospital (a traditional provider) .
