Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
There is no Net County Cost associated with this revenue-generation fee-for-service Agreement.
Background
In September 2011, a client of Solano County was admitted to the County of El Dorado Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) for a period of four consecutive days. After repeated attempts to invoice Solano County (Solano) for these services, Solano informed the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) that a service agreement was required to allow payment of invoices (the invoice was $2,600). As part of the Agreement for services, to meet the Solano County's requirement for advanced service authorization, attached is the "Admission Agreement for Acute Psychiatric Treatment Services," which is to be completed by Solano County and submitted to HHSA upon the admission of any Solano County client to the County PHF.
Reason for Recommendation
Approval of this Agreement will establish the appropriate mechanisms to allow Solano County to pay for outstanding invoices for services provided in September 2011 and will become the mechanism for payment by Solano County for any clients admitted to the County of El Dorado ("EDC") PHF in the future. HHSA is recommending the HHSA Director, or designee, be authorized to sign further "Admission Agreement for Acute Psychiatric Treatment Services" for each admission of Solano County clients for services provided at the EDC PHF under Agreement 396-F1311.
