Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

October 17, 2023, Item 3j), Approval of Agreement No. BOS-23-137-A1
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 County of Mendocino 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 provided care coordination and data management for the delivery of Specialty Mental Health Services and worked with BHRS on transitioning service functions back to the County.
On October 17, 2023, the BOS approved the first Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-23-137 to update the language and payment terms to be in line with the recommendations received from the BOS and County Counsel, increase the total amount to $2,200,142 to cover additional months of services, and extend the end date to June 30, 2024.
The proposed second Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-23-137 increases the total amount of inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations, physician fees, and youth placement mental health services by $20,000, for a total amount of $1,520,000, and a new total maximum amount of $2,220,142 for the term of the Agreement, from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Due to the unexpected nature of emergency services needed for inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations, physician fees and youth placement mental health services, this Amendment was not anticipated. BHRS began processing the proposed Amendment as soon as the need was recognized and requested by RQMC/AHM late June 2024, therefore, the proposed second Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-23-137 is before the BOS as a retroactive Amendment. Once the proposed second Amendment is executed, it will be effective for the full term of the Agreement, from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024
