RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his Designee (Wendel Brunner), to execute on
behalf of the County, Standard Agreement #29-391-11 (State #06-55620) with the State Department of
Health Services (Office of AIDS), to pay County in an amount not to exceed $13,209 per client per
calendar year, for the AIDS Medi-Cal Waiver Program for the period of January 1, 2007 through
December 31, 2009. In accordance with this agreement, the County agrees to indemnify and hold the
State harmless for claims arising out of the County's performance under the Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The maximum amount payable per eligible client served under this agreement shall not exceed $13,209
per calendar year. 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.
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.
