TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Susan L. Holt, Director, Department of Behavioral Health
SUBJECT: Retroactive Amendment No. 1 to Service Agreement No. 23-274 with Turning Point of Central California, Inc. for the provision of Rural Mental Health Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and Authorize the Chairman to execute Retroactive Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Turning Point of Central California, Inc. to update the physical site locations for the provision of Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Rural Mental Health (RMH) Services Full Service Partnership Services, Outpatient Mental Health Services, and Intensive Case Management Services in rural Fresno County for children that have severe emotional disturbance and adults that have a serious mental illness, effective April 5, 2024 with no change to the term of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025, or maximum compensation of $31,581,546.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will allow the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) and the contracted provider, Turning Point of Central California, Inc. (Turning Point), to continue providing RMH services to persons served in the Rural areas of Fresno County. Turning Point has shown that the physical rural sites in Huron and Mendota should be closed as they are unable to sustain the costs with limited revenue being collected for those locations. All persons served at Huron and Mendota will still be served at nearby Coalinga and Kerman offices, respectively. This item pertains to Districts 1 and 4.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There are no viable alternative actions. Should your Board not approve the recommended action, the RMH services will not be able to continue providing services in the physical Huron and Mendota site locations due to budgetary constraints that arose out of the recent CalAIM Payment Reforms, effective July 1, 2023, which changed all services to be paid fee for services versus operational cost.
