Summary of Request:
The Medical Therapy Program (MTP) is a special program within California Children's Services (CCS) that is operated at the local level by each county's health department to provide physical therapy, occupational therapy, and Medical Therapy Conference services to children with disabling conditions, generally due to neurological or musculoskeletal disorders. For families in Ukiah, Public Health (PH) CCS provides full local support, applications, and guidance.
On July 29, 2025, Mendocino County Public Health (PH) CCS received Information Notice 25-04, with the approved budget allocation for fiscal year (FY) 2025-26 for Mendocino County’s Medical Therapy Program (MTP), from the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).
On September 25, 2025, Public Health submitted the required MTP Budget Worksheet based on the approved allocation.
Since the proposed allocation was received after the effective date, the allocation is now retroactive. Additionally, due to time constraints, the proposed budget was submitted to DHCS on September 25, 2025, prior to Board of Supervisors approval. As a result, PH is now seeking retroactive approval of the allocation.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
