Summary of Request:
Existing specialty mental health contracted providers, including Tapestry Family Services, are contracting with local school districts to provide Individualized Education Plan services for mental health conditions. When services qualify for Medi-Cal reimbursement, the proposed contracts will allow Tapestry Family Services to bill the services through Behavioral Health and Recovery Services with Mendocino County Office of Education reimbursing the County for the nonfederal share. The proposed agreements will also allow the school district’s special education funding for mental health services to provide more services with the same dollar through billing Medi-Cal where applicable.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
