TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: David Luchini, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Retroactive FY 2022-23 California Department of Health Care Services
Allocation Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve retroactive submission of the FY 2022-23 California Department of Health Care Services
Allocation for child health services under California Children's Services and authorize the
Chairman to execute the Certification Statement as required by the California Department of Health
Care Services effective July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 ($5,568,636).
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the
recommended action will allow the County to continue to receive non-competitive funding from the California
Department of Health Care Services (DHCS)to administer the California Children's Services (CCS)
program. CCS programs across the State received allocations less than prior years. According to DHCS
notification, allocations were reduced due to DHCS erroneously estimating caseload reductions, however,
DHCS intends to reevaluate and reissue an updated FY 2022-23 budget allocation. Fresno County's
allocation is 23% less than the prior fiscal year and will cover approximately 75% of anticipated FY 2022-23
CCS program costs. The anticipated County match at the reduced allocation, estimated at$129,035, will be
funded with Health Realignment. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There are no viable alternative actions as the County is mandated under Health and Safety Code (H &SC)
Section 123850 to administer the CCS program. Should your Board not approve the recommended action,
the Department would not have sufficient funds to offset mandated program service costs.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:
The Department received notification of the FY 2022-23 budget allocation from DHCS on November 18,
2022 and is retroactive to July 1, 2022. This item is brought to your Board in accordance with the agenda
item processing timelines. The approved Children's Medical Services (CMS) Plan submission deadline to
DHCS is January 27, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The FY 2022-23 non-competitive
allocation of$5,568,636 represents a $1,649,039 or a 23% decrease from the prior year. Sufficient
appropriations and estimated revenues are included in the Department's Org 5620 FY 2022-23 Adopted
Budget.
County of Fresno page 1 File Number.22-1288
File Number.22-1288
The reduced allocation was due to DHCS' erroneous estimate of caseload reductions as a result of
COVID-19 public health emergency ending, which was projected last July 2022.
The State acknowledged the error in calculating the allocation and committed to reevaluating and reissuing
an updated FY 2022-23 budget allocation as warranted, by February 2023. However, DHCS still requires
local CCS programs to submit a plan and budget based on the reduced allocation. The recommended
budget represents approximately 75% of program expenditures (Org 56201600). In the event Fresno
County's allocation is not increased, the Department will utilize Future of Public Health Funding allocation to
offset cost above the CCS allocation.
The recommended CMS budget includes the required County match of$129,035, contingent upon allocation
spending, will be covered by Health and Welfare Realignment funds. The allocation allows full recovery of
indirect costs and the Department's current indirect cost rate is 18.816%.
CCS costs are allocated within Federal and State funding sources based on the County's CCS client
caseload and staff time studies.
DISCUSSION:
The CCS program provides medical case management, diagnostic and treatment services to infants,
children and youth under the age of 21 with CCS-eligible medical conditions such as congenital heart
disease, cancer, cystic fibrosis, chronic lung disease, serious birth defects, hearing loss and cerebral palsy.
The CCS program is administered as a partnership between county health departments and DHCS.The
recommended allocation supports the following administrative activities performed by the County:
Medical review, evaluation and determination of children and youth under 21 applying for CCS
benefits;
• Review and determination of residential and financial eligibilities of medically qualified individuals;
• Authorize appropriate diagnostic services, treatment, therapy, specialized medical care and related
services eligible CCS clients;
• Medical case management to ensure eligible infants, children and youth receive the authorized
medical services;
• Review, authorize and purchase supplies and other services needed for treatment of the eligible
CCS medical condition;
• Assessments, interventions and coordination of care;
• Assistance, consultation and training to providers and hospitals on the CCS authorization process;
• Support for family navigation through consultation and linking to community resources and other
family support organizations; and,
• Assessment, intervention and guidance to clients and families in developing transition plans as the
CCS client ages out.
Each county's annual allocation is based on the number of CCS clients. In FY 2021-22, the Fresno CCS
caseload was 7330.
Beyond administration of the CCS program and in accordance with Health & Safety Code Section 123940,
CCS counties share in the responsibility, with the State and Federal government to fund the medically
necessary services such as diagnostics, treatment, medication and therapy to eligible clients. The counties
pay their share of cost on a quarterly basis.
Medically necessary occupational and physical therapy are provided through the Medical Therapy Program
(MTP)which is a special program under CCS. These services are provided at the Medical Therapy Units
(MTUs) located in three County public schools.
County of Fresno page 2 File Number.22-1288
File Number:22-1288
DHCS provides a separate allocation to fund the MTP however, counties are not required to submit plan or
budget details.
To finalize the allocation process, DHCS requires your Board to certify approval of the recommended CCS
allocation plan and that the County will comply with applicable laws, regulations, and policies related to the
CCS program. The recommended CCS allocation plan is retroactive to July 1, 2022 and serves in lieu of an
agreement. Historically, the DHCS allocation plan included the allocations for other child health services
programs, however, those plans are not included in this item because they were presented to your Board
on October 25, 2022. Upon approval of the recommended action by your Board, no additional executed
documents are required to receive funding.

CCS
Performance Measure 1
FY 2021-22
CCS Program staff conducts routine reviews of all active cases to ensure CCS
clients have documented and up-to-date medical homes/primary care providers.
Staff contacts clients and their parents/guardians and works collaboratively with
Medi-Cal Managed Care plans, local hospitals and other local providers to
determine current primary care providers.
In addition, CCS Program staff conducts annual program eligibility reviews of all
clients to identify primary care physicians and/or medical homes. Additionally,
when families come to the CCS office, they are asked to identify their primary
care physician so their medical files can be updated.
Based on the entire active caseload as of July 2022, the following findings are:
• 98% of CCS clients in Fresno County have an identified primary care
provider (PCP). This represents a 1% decrease from the previous fiscal
year.
• MSBI does not reliably reflect the number of clients with a PCP because
many clients change PCPs and neglect to inform the CCS Administrative
staff. Staff will continue with efforts to obtain PCP information for these
clients.
11
CCS Performance Measure 1 — Medical Home
Children enrolled in the CCS Program will have documented medical homes/primary
care providers. The goal is to have 100% compliance.
Definition: Children in the CCS program will have a designated primary care
physician and/or a physician who provides a medical home.
Numerator: The total number of children with a completed field with
identification of a primary care physician and/or a physician that
provides a medical home.
Denominator: The total number of children in the local CCS county program.

Performance Measure 2
FY 2021-22
Client program eligibility was determined according to the guidelines established
by the Children's Medical Services Branch, California Children's Medical
Services Administrative Procedures Manual (July 2001 Revision). Fresno
County CCS utilized a report created in MSBI to select a sample of 100
unduplicated new referrals. The findings are as follows:
• A sample of 100 unduplicated new referrals was selected at random. Out
of the 100 new referrals, 90% had their medical eligibility determined
within the prescribed guidelines. This represents a 1% increase from the
previous fiscal year.
• A sample of 100 unduplicated new referrals was selected at random. Out
of the 100 new referrals 98% had their financial and residential eligibility
determined within the prescribed guidelines. This represents a 1%
increase from the previous fiscal year. 86 cases were Full Scope Medi-Cal
or TLICP clients and 14 were CCS only clients.
• Manual procedures remain in place for the tickling of applications,
Program Services Agreement (PSA), and program eligibility letters that
are sent to the families.
13
CCS Performance Measure 2 — Determination of CCS Program
Eligibility
Children referred to CCS have their program eligibility determined within the
prescribed guidelines per Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 42000,
and according to CMS Branch policy. Counties will measure the following:
Numerators:
a. Medical eligibility within five working days of receipt of all medical
documentation necessary to determine whether a CCS-eligible
condition exists.
b. Residential eligibility within 30 days of receipt of documentation
needed to make the determination.
C. Financial eligibility within 30 days of receipt of documentation
make the determination.
Denominator: Number of CCS unduplicated new referrals to the CCS program
assigned a pending status in the last fiscal year.
Data Source: 10% of the county CCS cases or 100 cases (which ever number is
less).

Performance Measure 3
FY 2021-22
Part A: Annual team Report
Fresno County CCS generated an MSBI report which identified 100 random clients
(greater than 10%) out of the total list of clients with a diagnosis or condition that
requires referral to a Cardiac, Renal, Pulmonary, Neurological or Endocrine Special
Care Center, per NL 01-0108.
Review of the random sample of 100 children who received a SCC authorization yielded
the following:
• 96% compliance for Annual Team Reports of SCC authorized clients. Out of 100
children with a SCC authorization, 96 had an Annual Team Report in their
medical chart, 4 did not.
Part B: Authorization of Child to SCC
CCS generated an MSBI report which identified 100 children with a CCS
diagnosis or condition that requires referral to Cardiac, Renal, Neuro-
musculoskeletal, Endocrine, or Pulmonary Special Care Centers, per NL 01-
0108.
• Of the 100 children who had a condition that required authorization to a
SCC, 96 were in fact authorized for a SCC.
• Fresno County is 96% compliant with appropriately authorizing SCC for
children with eligible medical conditions.
16
CCS Performance Measure 3 (A & B) — Special Care Center
This Performance Measure is evaluated in two parts.
Part A: Annual Team Report
Definition: This performance measure is based on the CCS requirement for
an annual team report for each child enrolled in CCS whose
condition requires Special Care Center services and has received
an authorization to a Special Care Center. County CCS programs
will evaluate this measure by the presence of an annual team
conference report in the child's medical file.
Numerator: Number of children that received a Special Care Center
authorization and were seen at least annually at the appropriate
Special Care Center as evidenced by documentation and
completion of the interdisciplinary team report.
Denominator: Number of children enrolled in CCS whose condition as
listed in categories defined in Numbered Letter 01-0108
requires CCS Special Care Center services and has
received an authorization to a Special Care Center.

Performance Measure 4
FY 2021-22
Fresno County updated its Transition Planning protocols for the CCS Program in
January 2015 for clients who turn 14, 16, 18 and 20 years of age in the calendar
year. Because of staffing constraints, we developed a relatively automated
Transition Planning Process that generates age-focused Transition Planning
packets of information for all clients with a medical condition that warrants
Transition Planning. Fresno County understands the importance of Transition
Planning on the overall health needs of our clients. Transition Planning packets
include the following:
• A Transition Planning letter addressed to the parents for 14 and 16 year
olds and addressed to the clients who are 18 and 20 years old. The letter
addresses the importance of client-based understanding of their medical
needs, encourages discussion with the medical workers about transition
planning, and underscores the importance of finding an adult care provider
for when they become adults.
• A Health care skills worksheet to be discussed with the Primary Care
Physician.
• Community resource contact list.
• HIPAA forms (as appropriate)
o Acknowledgment of Receipt of Privacy Rights under HIPAA
o Authorization for Use and Disclosure (for 18 year olds who want to
continue including their parents/guardians in their health care
decisions).
Together, these steps have helped Fresno County shore up Transition Planning
outreach and engagement, helped reduce some of the paperwork of case
managers, and most importantly contributes to the on-going medical needs of our
CCS clients.
Fresno County's CCS Medical Therapy Program continuously provides transition
planning for children at ages 3, 14, 16, 18 and 20.
The FY 2021-22 Transition Planning Performance Measure includes the
following findings:
• Based on the results of an MSBI report, Fresno County randomly selected
a sample of 1100 clients with an age of 14, 16, 18, or 20 who's CCS
eligible medical condition appropriately required Transition Planning.
19
• The random sample (969 Cases) of all non-MTP clients who turned 14,
16, 18 and 20 years old was created to see if they received Transition
Planning after the implementation of the automated Transition Planning
process. FY 2021-22 shows 99% of the selected sample received
Transition Planning letters/information. This is 1% less than the
percentage compliance in FY 2020-21.
• The random sample (131 Cases) of all MTP clients who turned 14, 16, 18
and 20 years old shows 99% of the selected sample received Transition
Planning letters/information. This is a 1% decrease from FY 2020-21.

CCS Performance Measure 4 — Transition Planning
Definition: Children, 14 years and older who are expected to have
chronic health conditions that will extend past the twenty-
first birthday will have documentation of a biannual review
for long term transition planning to adulthood.
Numerator: Number of CCS charts for clients 14, 16, 18, or 20 years
containing the presence of a Transition Planning Checklist
completed by CCS program staff within the past 12 months
for children aged 14 years and over whom requires long
term transition planning.
Denominators:
a. Number of CCS charts reviewed of clients 14, 16, 18, and
20 years in (10% of children aged 14 and over) whose
medical record indicates a condition that requires a
transition plan.
b. Number of MTP charts reviewed of clients 14, 16, 18, and
20 years in (10% of children aged 14 and over) whose
medical record indicates a condition that requires a
transition plan.
Data Source: Chart Audit, Completion of Transition Planning Checklist.
Due to caseload numbers in Los Angeles County, LA County should work with the
Regional Office to select an appropriate number of clients to be included in their
sample size.

Performance Measure 5
FY 2021-22
This performance measure indicates the level of family participation in the CCS
program. Narrative for each criterion follows:
1. CCS uses an existing CCS parent survey developed in February 2011 and
updated in 2014. This survey is distributed widely in order to gauge
parent/client satisfaction with CCS services. The survey was written at an
elementary reading level in both English and Spanish. The survey
provides CCS with information on how we can improve upon services,
asking yes or no questions and providing opportunity to comment.
Surveys are reviewed and CCS Administration employs every effort to
improve upon areas of family participation.
2. On-going challenges exist in the areas of family participation. Currently,
there are no advisory committees or task forces for family participation,
nor is there a County policy to facilitate reimbursement for child care or
transportation to such meetings, due to multiple years of budgetary
cutbacks and staffing cuts that have only recently begun to rebound, albeit
slowly.
3. Family members regularly participate in CCS Special Care Center
meetings for care planning and transition planning.
4. Fresno County CCS has no family advocates under contract or as
consultants to the program.
Fresno County CCS Administration will explore opportunities for increasing family
involvement, as dictated by Program considerations, including staffing and
budgeting constraints.
24
CCS Performance Measure 5 — Family Participation
