Commission briefed on updated contract with Mental Health Association tied to CCBHC fees
Summary
Staff told the commission the county will present an updated contract with the Mental Health Association that reflects new CCBHC fees and shared-services arrangements, a months-long effort involving Comcare and legal.
Tom told commissioners the consent agenda includes an updated contract with the Mental Health Association to reflect changes in Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) fees and service-sharing arrangements. "We have item, g, which is an updated contract with mental, the Mental Health Association," he said, calling out that the contract reflects new CCBHC fees and shared services.
Tom thanked Comcare and legal staff for their work on the multi-month effort, noting the update is the culmination of four to five months of work. The item was presented as part of a short consent agenda; commissioners did not debate the contract during the agenda review but heard the background and staff appreciation for getting the agreement to a presentable form.
Why it matters: The contract update implements fee changes tied to CCBHC reimbursement and clarifies shared service relationships with a longstanding mental-health provider, which can affect program funding and service delivery.
Next step: The contract update is on the consent agenda for the upcoming commission meeting; no substantive policy debate occurred at the agenda-review session.
