body
Financial Impact:
Costs of services will be paid with Mental Health realignment funds and/or Mental Health Services Act dollars allocated for medically necessary services.
Background Information:
This is Amendment #3 to the agreement with Restpadd Health Corp. approved at the Board of Supervisors meeting of 5/24/22 (Misc. Agree. #2022-152) to provide medically necessary psychiatric services on behalf of Tehama County residents. This amendment will update the rates listed in Exhibit B for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2024/25. This facility is located here in Tehama County. The further away from Tehama County that psychiatric inpatient beds are located, the more disruptive the treatment is and the harder it is for both the individual experiencing the psychiatric crisis and their family members to resolve the crisis. TCHSA is using this more conveniently located facility to help decrease use of other contracted facilities that are further away from Tehama County. Additionally, there are some budget savings as using this facility will decrease the cost of transportation and minimize staff time involved with transportation. All services are provided with prior written authorization from Tehama County.
