Background
Welfare and Institutions (W&I) Code Section 5897 directs the State to implement the mental health services defined in the W&I Code Section 5800 (Adult and Older Adult Mental Health System of Care Act), Section 5840 (Prevention and Early Intervention Programs), and Section 5850 (The Children's Mental Health Services Act) through contracts with county mental health programs or with counties acting jointly.
Chapter 633, Statutes of 1994, Assembly Bill 757 consolidated the authorization of Fee-for-Service/Medi-Cal and Short-Doyle/Medi-Cal psychiatric inpatient hospital services at the county level. Under this program, the State Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) transferred the responsibility for psychiatric inpatient hospital services to the county's Mental Health Plan (MHP). The MHP authorizes psychiatric inpatient hospital service admissions, continued stay services and administrative days for all Medi-Cal recipients based on county of residence.
The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), on behalf of the County, contracts with the State to serve as the Mental Health Plan (MHP) for the County. HHSA, as the MHP, contracts with multiple inpatient acute psychiatric hospital facilities, to ensure the availability of services on an "as needed" basis, in accordance with Title 9, California Code of Regulations Sections 1700-1799.
Reason for Recommendation
Approval of these Agreements for Services will ensure availability of acute psychiatric inpatient facilities for adults, older adults, and adolescents in locations that allow Clients to receive services in various geographical locations close to their personal support systems.
Approval of retroactive Agreement for Services 520-S1411 with BHC Health Services of Nevada, doing business as West Hills Hospital will allow for payment of services provided to an El Dorado County resident for acute inpatient psychiatric treatment for the period of March 3, 2014 through April 11, 2014.
The County of El Dorado Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) does not provide acute inpatient services for children. BHC Sierra Vista and BHC Heritage Oaks have provision for adolescent (ages 13-17) acute inpatient treatment and BHC West Hills has provision for pediatric (ages 4-12) and adolescent (ages 13-17) acute inpatient treatment.
