Committee accepts BLA changes and forwards Health Advocates contract amendment
The committee voted to forward to the Board a second amendment to the Department of Public Health's contract with Health Advocates LLC for uncompensated care reimbursement recovery services. DPH said the amendment extends the contract through Dec. 31, 2023, with no scope change, and supports Medi-Cal eligibility screening, application assistance and appeals for uninsured patients. The department requested retroactive approval to maintain continuity.

The Budget and Legislative Analyst recommended reducing the not-to-exceed amount to reflect actuals (from ~$21.3M down about $1.2M to $20.1M). DPH concurred and the committee voted to accept the BLA amendment and forward the item with a positive recommendation (roll call: 3 ayes).
