RECOMMEMED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his Designee (Wendel Brunner) ,
to execute on behalf of the County, Standard Agreement (Amendment) #29-391-8 (State
#96-26497, 02) with the State Department of Health Services (Office of AIDS) ,
effective December 31, 1999, to amend Standard Agreement #29-391-6, for the AIDS
Medi-Cal Waiver Program. This Amendment extends the term of the agreement through
December 31, 2000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Standard Agreement (Amendment) with the State will allow the
Department's Home Health Agency to continue to provide direct home health care
services to AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program clients through December 31, 2000. Payment
is provided for specific services at established Medi-Gal rates. The total funded
amount will be determined by the number of "slots" awarded and services provided.
REASONS FOR RECON+iENDATIONSIBACKGRO`ITM:
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.
Approval of Standard Agreement (Amendment) #29-391-8 will allow the Department to
continue these services through December 31, 2000.
Three certified/sealed copies of this Board Order should be returned to the
Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the State.
