Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
In accordance with County Policy No. 47 the Master Fee Schedule (Exhibit X), can be modified or changed with an amended Resolution to the original Resolution, on an annual basis, or on or about April of each year, corresponding with the annual budget process. The last amendment to the Master Fee Schedule was adopted on December 4, 2018 by Resolution 18-190 and took effect on March 4, 2019.
Summary of Request:
Pursuant to County Policy No. 47, consideration and possible approval of revised fee schedule incorporating modified and new fees is being requested for Cultural Services Agency, Environmental Health, Department of Planning & Building Services and the Cannabis Management Unit; and separately adopt Behavioral Health and Recovery Services fees pursuant the California State Plan which requires Short Doyle/Medi-Cal services to be paid at the lower of actual costs or customary charges. These fees are not included in the Master Fee Schedule as they are not fees charged to the public This requirement is consistent with federal Medicare rules, California Code of Regulations Title 9, Section 1840.105, and the Annual Mental Health Plan cost reporting instructions. The State equates customary charges with published charges (fees). Claims for services provided by the mental health services provider network are billed to Medi-Cal based on Board approved fees. The Executive Office has prepared a memorandum to the Board of Supervisors regarding Proposed Changes to the County Master Fee Schedule. In addition Behavioral Health has submitted a memorandum detailing their fee increases. Finally, Departmental representatives will be in attendance to present the requested fee modifications and respond to Board inquiry.
