Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Ongoing item. Last action, June 22, 2021, Item No. 5(e), BOS Agreement No. 21-138
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, 2016. 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.
This update to the existing agreement with Redwood Quality Management Company increases the overall cost of the contract to cover services that were paid for and then reimbursed by Medi-Cal, provide Full Service Partnership programs, and update the language in the agreement to reflect regulation changes and updates to services. The ASO contract was reduced at the beginning of the fiscal year due to concerns with COVID impacts on revenue, with the plan to re-evaluate revenues and services midyear.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
