Helena Hospital and its California Specialty Hospital SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION(S) : Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Donna Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract 424-794-7 (3) with St. Helena Hospital and its California Specialty Hospital, in an amount not to exceed $250, 000 to provide Fee- for-Service (FFS) /Medi-Cal acute psychiatric inpatient services for the period from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001. This Novation Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2001 in an amount not to exceed $125, 000. FISCAL IMPACT: This Contract is funded by Mental Health inpatient consolidation funds and Federal Medi-Cal funds. BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) : Chapter 633, Statutes of 19.94, 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. On December 7, 1999, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-794-7 (2) with St. Helena Hospital and its California Specialty Hospital, for the period from July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000 (which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2000) for the provision of acute psychiatric inpatient hospital services. It was the intent of the parties that the prior Contract would be novated prior to the expiration of the six-month automatic extension on December 31, 2000. However, due to administrative oversight by the County and Contractor, the automatic extension expired while the Contractor negotiated new rates with Contra Costa and other Counties. Services were requested by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith during contract negotiations. Approval of Novation Contract #24-794-7 (3) will replace the six-month automatic extension under the prior Contract, and will allow the Contractor to continue providing psychiatric inpatient hospital services through June 30, 2001.
