Committee forwards Medi‑Cal County Inmate Program agreements for Board consideration
Summary
The committee voted to forward two DPH agreements with the California Department of Health Care Services related to the Medi‑Cal County Inmate Program (MCIP), including a participation agreement and an administrative services agreement covering 07/01/2026–06/30/2029; the administrative agreement carries a small not‑to‑exceed administrative payment.
On June 4 the Government Audit and Oversight Committee forwarded to the full Board two Department of Public Health agreements with the California Department of Health Care Services related to the Medi‑Cal County Inmate Program (MCIP).
Matt Surr, DPH’s director of revenue cycle and reimbursement, told the committee the participation agreement would allow San Francisco to voluntarily participate in MCIP, permit DPH to bill the state for services rendered to eligible MCIP clients treated at San Francisco health facilities, and define how the non‑federal share of costs is allocated. The administrative services agreement covers state‑level administrative costs for operating the program and, as presented, has a not‑to‑exceed amount the transcript records as approximately $35,000 for the three‑year term from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029.
Surr said the agreements ensure the city can pursue reimbursement for services provided to eligible clients and described the administrative agreement as the city’s commitment to pay San Francisco’s portion of the non‑federal share for state administration of MCIP. Committee members had no further questions and there was no public comment.
Chair Supervisor Steven Sherrill moved to forward the agreements to the full Board with a positive recommendation. The roll call recorded Vice Chair Mahmood and Chair Sherrill voting "aye" and the motion passed.
