Report Title: Novation Contract #74-286-24 with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-286-24 with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,319,840, to provide outpatient Medi-Cal mental health services to Contra Costa County residents, for the period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in budgeted annual expenditures of up to $1,319,840 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal ($659,920), 50% Mental Health Realignment Funds ($659,920).
BACKGROUND:
The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc., since January 2007 to provide transitional residential treatment, rehabilitative services, medication support, and mental health services to Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) adult clients. This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing transitional residential treatment, rehabilitative services, medication support, and mental health services to SPMI adult clients at its Crestwood Healing Center. This contractor was selected as the sole source provider as they are the only licensed facility in Contra Costa County. Due to the limited number of qualified providers this contractor has been approved by the County’s Purchasing Services Manager on September 27, 2023. This contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: Welfare and Institutions Code §§ 5600, et seq. (The Bronzan McCorquodale Act); California Code of Regulations (“CCR”), Title 9, §§ 523, et seq. (Community Mental Health Services); California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000. The Behavioral Health’s Quality Management, Utilization Management and Contract Monitor staff meet on regular basis to ensure monitoring and performance measures in the contract are upheld. This contract was approved by Health Services Personnel to ensure there is no conflict with labor relations.
On September 13, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-286-22 with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $6,583,129 for the provision of residential treatment and mental health services to SPMI adults for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023 in an amount not to exceed $3,291,564.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-286-24 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and allow the contractor to continue providing outpatient Medi-Cal mental health services to Contra Costa County residents through June 30, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, county’s SPMI clients will have reduced access to the mental health treatment and residential services that they require.
