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.
The proposed contracts were developed retroactively as the opportunity did not present itself until after the beginning of the fiscal year. Contract discussions and negotiations required an extended period of time to develop language that aligns with School District and Medi-Cal requirements.
