Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
The Fiscal Year 2012-13 California State Budget authorized and mandated the expansion of Medi-Cal Managed Care health plan services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries living in rural counties who had previously received Medi-Cal services on a fee-for-service basis. The program is now named "California Health Care Options Program." Maximus, Inc. (Maximus) was awarded a contract by California Department of Health Care Services (HOC #07-65829), to locally support the California Health Care Options Program effective July 1, 2013, and has been selected to continue providing these services. El Dorado County executed a perpetual non-financial Space Use Agreement #068-O1411 effective July 1, 2013 with Maximus, which will be terminated upon execution of this new non-financial Space Use Agreement #4021 at the request of Maximus, Inc.
Following California Department of Health Care Services selecting Maximus as the ongoing entity to assist counties with the California Health Care Options Program (HOC #17-94437), Maximus, Inc. notified El Dorado County on February 25, 2019 of their award and submitted a new non-financial Space Use Agreement for execution.
