TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute all necessary documents with the State Department of Health Services to provide Targeted Case Management Services to eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries for a period of five years, July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2012, for an estimated annual revenue of $250,000. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
For the past thirteen years, the City of Long Beach, Department of Health and Human Services (Health Department), has been providing Targeted Case Management (TCM) services to eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Under this agreement with the State Department of Health Services (State), Health Department staff assists eligible clients in gaining access to necessary medical, social, educational, and other services. These services are provided by staff in Public Health Nursing, Maternal and Child Health, Communicable Disease and Preventive Health programs during the course of their client encounters.
The proposed agreement will allow the Health Department to continue to claim reimbursement for the provision of TCM services. The term of the agreement is July 1, 2007 through June 30,2012.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Lori A. Conway on May 29,2007 and by Budget and Performance Management Bureau Manager David Wodynski on May 31, 2007.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this item is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Health Department will receive reimbursement from the State based on the number of qualified TCM encounters provided to eligible Medi-Cal clients. While the agreement does not specify a dollar amount, annual revenue of $250,000 is budgeted in the Health Fund (SR 130) and in the Department of Health and Human Services (HE). All anticipated costs will be offset by revenue reimbursements from the State Department of Health Services.
