Summary of Request:
Redwood Quality Management Company (RQMC) has been delivering mental health services on behalf of Mendocino County to Children and Youth 24 years and younger, as delineated in the Mental Health Plan (MHP) controlled by the State Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), since May 21, 2013, when the County began contracting for mental health services instead of providing mandated mental health services directly. The County is entering into a new contract with RQMC for arranging and/or managing mental health services aimed at assisting children and youth with severe emotional disorders based on Kemper Consulting Group’s review of Mendocino County’s Administrative Services Organization (ASO) model. The ASO model allows RQMC to provide necessary mental health services on behalf of the County, while allowing the County to maintain a comprehensive MHP and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
