SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) ac BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee
(Donna Wigand, L.C.S.W. ) to execute on behalf of the County,
Contract #24-794-4 (2) with Ross Hospital, for the period from July
1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, 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 o-f Medi-Cal acute
psychiatric inpatient hospital services to counties that chose to
participate in this program.
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) .
On October 811 1996, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#24-794-4 (as amended by Amendment #24-794-4 (1) ) for the period from
September 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 . Approval of Contract
124-794-4 (2) will allow the Contractor to continue providing
services through June 30, 1998.
