Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Ongoing item. Last action: July 23, 2019, Item 5(d), BOS Agreement No. 19-193.
Summary of Request:
Redwood Quality Management Company (RQMC) has been arranging and paying 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, 2017. Functioning as the County’s Administrative Services Organization (ASO), RQMC oversees and manages the delivery of mental health services through a well-developed coalition of local subcontractors.
The 2019-20 contract with RQMC combines services that were contracted separately in past fiscal years. These services include: specialty mental health services for children, youth, and adults; medication support services; services delivered as part of MHSA programs, including Community Services and Support (CSS) and Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services; and services for Mendocino County’s indigent population, including Misdemeanor Competency Restoration. The contract also specifies provision of administrative and utilization review services along with detailed reporting requirements to include both demographics and services delivery timelines.
Amendment of the agreement will allow RQMC to provide required specialty mental health services on behalf of the County while the County completes a Request for Proposal process for specialty mental health services.
The retroactive nature of this amendment is due to the financial impacts of COVID-19 and the need to reassess and reduce the contract due to changes in projected revenues.
