Costa
DATE: January 15, 1996 COUhty
SUBJECT: Approve Standard Agreement #29-391-6 with the State Department of Health Services, for
the AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Wendel
Brunner, M.D. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard Agreement #29-391-
6 (State #96-26497) with the State Department of Health Services (Office of
AIDS) , for the period from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1999, for AIDS
Medi-Cal Waiver Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Standard Agreement with the State will allow the Department's
Home Health Agency to provide direct home health care services to AIDS Medi-Cal
Waiver Program clients. Payment is provided for specific services at
established Medi-Cal rates. The total funded amount will be determined by the
number of "slots" awarded and services provided.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Department's Public Health Division AIDS Program staff is experienced in
providing case management services for people with HIV Disease. The AIDS Medi-
cal Waiver Program goals are to lessen the financial cost of care which, for
people with AIDS and ARC, are historically driven by hospitalizations and other
institution-based care, and to provide the most humane and appropriate levels
of care in the most appropriate setting for the client. Participation in the
program allows the Department's AIDS Program to offer case managed home and
community-based care to a greater number of clients in the County.
'Three "sealed copies of this Board Order should be returned to the Contracts and
Grants Usit for submission to the State.
