CalAIM manager hired and probation explores third‑party billing; committee reviews realignment data

Committee members were informed that an offer has been made for a CalAIM manager position with a tentative start date of June 21. Humboldt County Probation reported it has been speaking with Medusind about performing CalAIM billing services; members discussed the practical and contractual implications of third‑party billing.

The committee also conducted its monthly review of realignment data submitted by CCP plan partners. No formal action was recorded on the CalAIM staffing or billing discussions; members requested continued coordination as the new CalAIM manager starts and as Probation evaluates billing options.

During the roundtable, Duane Christian (HCCF) reported that clinician positions in the jail are fully staffed by WellPath personnel providing seven‑day coverage and that SWAP fees will be evaluated for a potential increase. Paul Bugnacki (DHHS) said DHHS is working on a memorandum of understanding for data sharing with WellPath.
