Reason for Recommended Action/Background
Pursuant to the County’s obligations as the Yolo County Mental Health Plan (MHP) and the related Title 9 and MHP contract requirements, the County via Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is required to provide psychiatry services to either: 1) residents with severe and persistent mental illness who are indigent or 2) residents who are recipients of Yolo County Medi-Cal. In Yolo County, the need for Adult Psychiatrist services has steadily increased—especially given the changes in the number of qualified Medi-Cal recipients. Yet it has become increasingly difficult to find providers, due to national and statewide shortages in the field, increasing demand for psychiatry services, increasing number of Medi-Cal recipients as a result of the Affordable Healthcare Act, and competition with the private sector.
Agreement No. 17-217 approved by this Board on August 1, 2017 provided for the continuation of required outpatient psychiatry services specifically needed for seriously mentally ill consumers, reducing the risk of placement at higher level/cost facilities. This fourth amendment seeks to add funding to pay pending claims for fiscal year 2021-22.
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
Performance Measures were included in the original agreement and are not being changed with this amendment.
