SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Approve and authorize the Director of Health or the Assistant Director of Health to execute Renewal and Amendment No. 4 to Agreement No. A-12535, with Seneca Family of Services and the Monterey County Health Department (Health), for the purpose of claiming Federal Financial Participation for Targeted Case Management Services through their Family Ties Program, extending the Agreement an additional one (1) year period retroactive to July 01, 2020 through June 30, 2021 for a revised full Agreement term of July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2021, for an unchanged total Agreement amount not to exceed $459,000.
The County of Monterey participates in the Medi-Cal TCM Program. As a county contractor, Seneca provides TCM reimbursable services to their clients. County oversees the approved TCM Cost Report, and processes claims for payment, for which the County receives a ten percent (10%) administrative fee.
Health is requesting to amend the current Agreement to extend the term to cover ongoing services. This Renewal and Amendment No. 4 has a retroactive date of July 1, 2020, due to a delay in receiving information from vendor and program staff timely, during the unusual working conditions at this time.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2018-2022 strategic plan initiatives: 1. Empower the community to improve health; and 2. Enhance community health and safety by emphasizing prevention. It also supports the following of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 4. Mobilize community partnerships and action to identify and solve health problems; and 7. Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provision of health care when otherwise unavailable.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The office of County Counsel and the Auditor-Controller have reviewed and approved this Renewal and Amendment No. 4 as to legal form and fiscal provisions respectively.
FINANCING:
This agreement is 100% funded with Medi-Cal monies through the Targeted Case Management (TCM) program. There are sufficient appropriations included in the Health Department's (HEA014-8438) Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2020-21 for this Agreement.
