DATE: October 31, 2017
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: David Pomaville, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Retroactive FY 2017-18 Children's Medical Services Plan Funding
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve retroactive submission of the FY 2017-18 Children's Medical Services Plan for child health services and authorize the Chairman to execute Certification Statements as required by the State Department of Health Care Services, effective July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 ($9,866,036).
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will allow the County to continue to receive non-competitive funding from the State Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) for four mandated child health services programs: California Children's Services (CCS), Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP), Health Care Program for Children in Foster Care (HCPCFC), and Psychotropic Medication Monitoring and Oversight (PMM&O), with no Net County Cost. The allocation covers the administrative costs of the four programs and includes full recovery of all indirect costs. The anticipated County match, estimated at $216,939, will be funded with Health Realignment.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There are no viable alternative actions as the County is mandated by the State to administer all four programs. Should your Board not approve the recommended action the Department would be unable to fund the programs.

The Department received FY 2017-18's approved budget allocations from DHCS for all components of the Children's Medical Services (CMS) Plan on July 7, 2017 and is retroactive to July 1, 2017. The approved CMS Plan submission deadline is November 7, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:

* $7,409,933 - CCS
* $1,132,109 - CHDP
