EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached, for your approval, is the First Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Lake County Office of Education for School-Based Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services for the Safe Schools Healthy Students Program for Fiscal Year 2016-17.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Under the Agreement, Lake County Office of Education as the approved Contractor for Lake County Office of Education - Special Education Local Plan Area (LCOE/SELPA), will provide Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services to Lake County Medi-Cal beneficiaries who have been identified through LCOE/SELPA as eligible to receive services under the Educational Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) program.
This Agreement provides LCOE access to Federal Financial Participation (FFP) funds which enables LCOE to provide more services at the school sites. LCBH will pay the full cost back to LCOE in order to bill services and access FFP.
After further review, the services provided under this Agreement are forecasted to come out below the contract maximum; therefore, LCBH would like to decrease this Agreement by $50,000 for a new contract maximum of $200,000. The funds from the contract decrease will be re-allocated to other contracts within the same level of care.
