Approve and authorize the Chair to sign the eighth amendment with Partnership HealthPlan of California to extend the agreement through December 31, 2029 for the purpose of continuing Intergovernmental Transfers between Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency and the California Department of Health Care Services. (No general fund impact) (Planell)

Approve and authorize the Chair to sign the eighth amendment with Partnership HealthPlan of California to extend the agreement through December 31, 2029 for the purpose of continuing Intergovernmental Transfers between Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency and the California Department of Health Care Services.

Since 2011, Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC), as Yolo County’s local Medi-Cal Health Plan, has been working with Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) to secure federal financial support for services delivered to the Medi-Cal population that have not previously received federal matching funds. The mechanism for securing these funds involves an intergovernmental transfer (IGT) process, through an agreement with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). The IGT process requires that Yolo County transfer local funding to DHCS, who uses the funds to draw down additional federal matching funds. DHCS then transfers the original county funds along with the federal matching funds, minus an administrative fee, to PHC. PHC then transfers these funds back to HHSA. 

The agreement between PHC and HHSA regarding IGT funding has been in place since March of 2011, and has been amended periodically to reflect changes in the IGT process. The approval of this amendment will extend the term of the agreement through December 31, 2029 for the continuation of the IGT process.

County Counsel has approved this Agreement as to form.
