Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Regarding the provision of Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) community-based services to Medi-Cal eligible children and adolescents, these services are mandated by federal statue and court agreements signed by the state, as well as tying in to the County’s greater commitment to keep children safe, healthy, at home, in school and in their communities. Most costly public services are often when children are removed from their home and placed in residential care and/or hospitalized.
Approval of this agreement with Victor Community Support Services will further HHSA’s effort to support community-based services to children and families by increasing access to services in local communities and prevent higher cost of care from occurring more than necessary.
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
Children’s Outpatient Behavioral Health Services |
Victor Community Support Services |
Edward Hackett, Chief Financial Officer |
Program Purpose |
Reduce symptoms and functional impairments related to primary diagnosis, increase caregiver resources and ensure at home placement. |
Program Information |
The program serves Yolo County residents who are Medi-Cal eligible and meet medical necessity criteria for specialty mental health services (SMHS). Clients are between the ages of 0-17, and 18-21 if involved in Child Welfare Services and are a non-minor dependent. Specialty Mental Health Services include individual or group therapies and interventions that are designed to reduce mental disability and/or facilitate improvement or maintenance of functioning consistent with the goals of learning, development, independent living and enhanced self-sufficiency. Services are directed toward achieving the client’s/family’s goals and must be consistent with the current Client Treatment Plan. |
