Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

July 25, 2023, Item 3p), Board of Supervisors approval of the revised Agreement No. BOS-23-137 with Redwood Quality Management Company DBA Anchor Health Management, Inc., $900,000 effective July 1, 2023, through September 30, 2023.                     

 

Summary of Request

Redwood Quality Management Company DBA Anchor Health Management, Inc. (RQMC/AHM) has been providing Administrative Services, Utilization Review Services, Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement, Inpatient Hospitalization Fees, Physician Fees, and Youth Placement Fees for Specialty Mental Health Services on behalf of Mendocino County, as delineated in the Mental Health Plan (MHP) controlled by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), and Mental Health Services Act Programs, since July 1, 2016.

 

On July 25, 2023, the Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved the revised Agreement No. BOS-23-137 with RQMC/AHM for the period of July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 with a preliminary total amount of $900,000, and gave direction to Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) staff to incorporate edits and return with the proposed Amendment. Through Agreement No. BOS-23-137, RQMC/AHM provides care coordination and data management for the delivery of Specialty Mental Health Services, and works with BHRS on transitioning service functions back to the County.

 

The proposed Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-23-137 updates the language and payment terms to be in line with the recommendations received from the BOS and County Counsel, increases the total amount to $2,200,142 to cover additional months of services, and extends the end date to June 30, 2024. BHRS staff started drafting the proposed Amendment shortly after the BOS meeting on July 25, 2023, then submitted the Amendment for County approvals, during which time Agreement No. BOS-23-137 expired, causing this Amendment to be retroactive.
