Background: Progress House provides Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services to the County for clients who qualify to participate in the Collaborative Justice DUI Court Program. The original agreement for services signed by the Board on December 11, 2007, included Exhibit D, the Standardized Rate Structure which detailed rates for payment of services.
State of California budget for FY 2008-09 reduced Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) rates with a potential for future reductions at the State level. The Health Services Department determined at that time it would be in the best interest of the County to adopt language that would ensure rates for these services conformed to the DMC rates both currently and in the future, automatically adjusting as necessary. Therefore, language in the amendment reflects these changes and Exhibit D, Standardized Rate Structure, is replaced by a new Exhibit D, Standardized Service Definitions.
In addition, the not-to-exceed amount is increased by $63,685.71; this consists of $45,000 previously unallocated funds within the grant appropriation and reallocation of $18,685.71 unexpended funds within the grant appropriation.
Reason for Recommendation: Replacement of Exhibit D eliminates any potential for disparity between DMC payments and provider service invoices. Re-allocation of funds to increase the not-to-exceed amount of this agreement will ensure provision of required level of services.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. Chairman to sign three (3) Amendments II to Agreement 557-S0811.
2. Board Clerk's Office to return two (2) fully executed Amendments II to Agreement 557-S0811
to Health Services Department - Public Health Division.
3. Department to distribute documents as appropriate.
