RECOMMENDATIONS:
ACCEPT report from Contra Costa Health regarding the Contra Costa CARES Program and from Richmond Community Foundation/Healthy Contra Costa on outreach activities and outcomes for Contra Costa CARES.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
In 2015 the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) established a pilot program, Contra Costa CARES, for the purpose of providing primary care services to adults not covered by the Affordable Care Act. CCHP has coordinated the program for primary care services via three providers: La Clínica de la Raza, Lifelong, and Brighter Beginnings. Due to the State expansion of Medi-Cal eligibility for low-income residents of all ages regardless of documentation status on January 1, 2024, Contra Costa CARES will end on December 31, 2023.
As requested by the Board of Supervisors at the Budget Adoption Hearing of May 23, 2023, this report includes an update on the following topics:
• CARES Participants and Services Provided - including caseload trends and outcomes data
• Outreach - including contract expenditures, reporting, and outcomes data
• CalAIM transition plans
• Funding - including remaining balances for Fiscal Year 2022-23 and spending plans for Fiscal Year 2023-24
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, then the report on Contra Costa CARES will not be made available to the public.
