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. Budget Unit 40131 is for Mental Health. There is no impact to the general fund.
Background Information:
This a new agreement with this vendor for the purpose of placement of clients who need long term residential treatment services and for mentally ill adults requiring a step down from a higher level of acute psychiatric care. If the agreement is approved, it will allow for the use of appropriate level facilities by Tehama County Mental health clients. If the agreement is not approved, clients who could be serviced by Compassion Pathways Behavioral Health would not be able to be placed there and the Department would need to find another comparable facility to place clients to meet services required by regulations and/or state contracts. This could result in clients being placed in farther distances and cause disruptions and delays for much needed services.
