body
Financial Impact:
The funding for this agreement comes from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) multi-year contract for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) services, and the 2011 Realignment Behavioral Health Subaccount (BHS) allocation with a maximum amount not to exceed $1,600,000 per fiscal year.
Background Information:
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) Program requires the Health Services Agency to subcontract for the following covered services: Outpatient drug-free treatment; Narcotic Replacement Therapy; Naltrexone Treatment; Intensive Outpatient Treatment; and Perinatal Residential Substance Abuse Services.
This amendment will allow the Tehama County Health Services Agency (TCHSA) to continue to meet these requirements by subcontracting with Aegis Treatment Centers for treatment provided by a Licensed NRT Program, combined with substance use disorder counseling, medical screening/treatment, and behavioral health services for a comprehensive and effective treatment plan.
