Reason for Recommended Action/Background

In January 2022, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) rolled out the CalAIM initiative aimed to provide broad delivery system program and payment reform across the Medi-Cal system. The goal was transformation of the Medi-Cal delivery system, moving it towards a population health approach that prioritizes prevention and whole person care. Focus shifted from compliance to quality and performance metrics. Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) requirements and policies pursuant to the CalAIM initiative were updated, and as a result of these updates, the County was required to revise the terms and conditions in the provider agreements for these services.

On or about June 27, 2023, the County and CommuniCare Health Centers entered into a one-year renewal agreement for the provision of Juvenile Justice Community Behavioral Health Services in an amount of $266,159.84 for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

On or about October 24, 2023, the County and CommuniCare Health Centers entered into a Consent to Assignment and Novation Agreement, effective October 1, 2023, with OLE Health dba CommuniCare OLE.

HHSA requests approval of this first amendment which extends the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2025; adds funding for 2024-25; and adds one optional extension for 2025-26; and delegates authority to the HHSA director to issue related option year notices.

Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
The Performance Measures were included in the underlying Agreement and are not being revised at this time (See Att. B. Performance Measures).
