Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment #1 to Provider Contract Title 36 Mental Health Services between Cochise County and UHS of Tucson, LLC dba Palo Verde Behavioral Health, in the amount not to exceed $25,000 annually, effective through June 30, 2021.
Background:
Securing placement for Title 36 patients can be a long process, often resulting in limited options for care. It is essential CHSS find as many partners as possible to ensure the broadest access to care and treatment in a timely manner. The existing contract with Palo Verde provides the county with a reliable backup provider for Title 36 evaluation services.
Principal changes documented by the amendment include (i) an extension until 6/30/21 and (ii) a modest $100 per day increase in payment rates.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Without the contract amendment, Cochise County will be subject to reduced control over Title 36 evaluation and treatment expenses.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Return signed amendment to department for provider execution.
