Board approves several interagency agreements and routine renewals, including billing hub and Fresno contract
Summary
Supervisors approved a Medical Administrative Activities billing agreement that uses a Santa Cruz hub, an addendum to the Equivalent data-sharing agreement, a contract arrangement with Fresno County for youth mental-health services, and a one-year renewal of a locum staffing agreement for medication services.
During a consent and information calendar segment, the Lassen County Board of Supervisors approved several interagency agreements and routine contract renewals:
- Medical Administrative Activities (MAA): Brandon Murray, public health director, described an MAA arrangement that uses a Santa Cruz hub to prepare Medicaid billing reports for multiple county departments. Staff said the consortium calculates a participation fee based on the approved fiscal-year budget and prior-year revenue; historically the participation rate was about 20% of MAHTCM revenue discussed on the record.
- Fresno County agreement: Behavioral health staff explained a full contract with Fresno County to provide mental-health services and receive invoices for youth placed there; the board set an internal per-fiscal-year cap and approved the agreement with a termination date noted in the contract.
- North American Mental Health locum renewal: Behavioral Health staff presented a routine one-year renewal of a staffing agreement (locum) to provide medication and medical services to indigent and Medi-Cal clients.
Each agreement was described on the record, questions were answered about caps and funding flows, and the board approved the respective motions and authorized the CAO or designated official to execute the documents.
