body
Financial Impact:
Costs of services will be paid for 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, Inc. approved at the Board of Supervisors meeting of July 13, 2021 (Misc. Agree. #2021-163) to provide medically necessary psychiatric services on behalf of Tehama County residents. This amendment replaces Exhibit A of the agreement to reflect Restpadd, Inc's rates for the upcoming fiscal year of 2024/2025. 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. This contract provides Tehama County with an additional resource for those in psychiatric crisis. TCHSA is using this more conveniently located facility as it decreases use of other contracted facilities that are further away from Tehama County. Additionally, there is some budget savings as this facility is in Shasta County and will decrease the cost of transportation and minimize staff time involved. All services are provided with the prior written authorization from Tehama County.
