II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded by Contra Costa Health Plan member premiums.
Costs depend upon utilization. As appropriate, patients and/or third
party payors will be billed for services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) has an obligation to provide
professional outpatient psychotherapy services for CCHP members with
mental health therapy services as a covered benefit. This population
includes Medi-Cal, Medicare and Commercial members enrolled in the

A recent Request for Proposal (RFP) was used to identify therapists
who have the experience, special skills and administrative resources
to participate in the CCHP Mental Health Provider Network. Standard
form contracts are necessary to formalize the relationship between
CCHP and the providers identified in the RFP process.
Approval of Non-Physician Services Contract #27-138 will allow this
Contractor to provide professional outpatient psychotherapy services
through December 31, 1997 .
