Reason for Recommended Action/Background

California state law mandates the County to provide psychiatric inpatient hospital services to eligible Medi-Cal and non-Medi-Cal mental health consumers. Woodland Memorial Hospital is the designated and responsible hospital to provide these services to Yolo County residents adults (age 18 or older) who meet California Welfare and Institutions Code criteria and/or who are a danger to self, others or are gravely disabled and require inpatient acute psychiatric services.
 
When no adult bed space is available at Woodland Memorial Hospital, or when a child or adolescent needs services, the patient must be treated by another qualified psychiatric hospital facility in the surrounding area.  Sutter Center for Psychiatry, being such a facility, is equipped to provide appropriate services to meet our clients’ needs.
 
The County is responsible for serving all Yolo Medi-Cal beneficiaries regardless of age.  The Contractor is not certified to bill Medi-Cal for services provided to Yolo Medi-Cal beneficiaries whose age is between 21 and 64 years of age. Thus, federal financial participation (FFP) is not available for these services. The stated contract amount is to be used for funding the services related to this group.
 
For services provided to Yolo Medi-Cal beneficiaries whose age is either 20 or younger, or 65 or older, the payment to the Contractor for this population is not paid directly via the County.  The Contractor bills Medi-Cal directly to receive funding via FFP and the County’s mental health realignment funds.  The State then reduces the amount used for this purpose from the monthly realignment apportionment to the County. 

On or about March 24, 2022 the County exercised the option to extend the Agreement through Fiscal Year 2022-23 under the same terms and conditions and added $400,000 for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
 
Staff recommends approval of this Amendment to cover the remaining claims for acute inpatient hospital stays for fiscal year 2021-22 so that the County can continue to provide acute psychiatric inpatient services to adults with severe mental illness.
 
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
