C. Monthly invoices shall include a client roster, identifying volume reported by
payer group clients served (including third party payer of services) by month and year-to-date, including

eligible for Federal reimbursement and any other revenues generated by CONTRACTOR (i.e., private
insurance, etc).
G. CONTRACTOR(S) shall submit monthly staffing reports that identify all direct
service and support staff, applicable licensure/certifications, and full time hours worked to be used as a
tracking tool to determine if CONTRACTOR(S)’s program is staffed according to the services provided
under this Agreement.
H. CONTRACTOR(S) will remit annually within ninety (90) days from June 30, a
schedule to provide the required information on published charges for all authorized direct specialty
mental health services. The published charge listing will serve as a source document to determine

used to bill the general public, insurers or other non-Medi-Cal third party payers during the course of
business operations.
I. CONTRACTOR(S) must maintain such financial records for a period of seven (7)
years, or if there a dispute, audit or inspection, until it is resolved, whichever is later. CONTRACTOR(S)

providers based on religious objection.

tasks, or at COUNTY’s option, contracting with a public accountant to perform said audit, or, may result
in the inability of COUNTY to enter into future agreements with CONTRACTOR(S). All audit costs
related to this Agreement are the sole responsibility of CONTRACTOR(S).
B. A single audit report is not applicable if CONTRACTOR(S)’s Federal contracts do

solvency. Said audit report shall be delivered to COUNTY’s DBH Business Office for review, no later

Agreement are expended. Failure to comply with this Act may result in COUNTY performing the
necessary audit tasks or contracting with a qualified accountant to perform said audit. All audit costs
related to this Agreement are the sole responsibility of CONTRACTOR(S) who agrees to take
corrective action to eliminate any material noncompliance or weakness found as a result of such audit.
Audit work performed by COUNTY under this section shall be billed to the CONTRACTOR(S) at
COUNTY’s cost, as determined by COUNTY’s Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector.

into participation in the Federal Health Care Programs.
A. If COUNTY has notice that CONTRACTOR(S) has been charged with a criminal
offense related to any Federal Health Care Program, or is proposed for exclusion during the term of any
contract, CONTRACTOR(S) and COUNTY shall take all appropriate actions to ensure the accuracy of
any claims submitted to any Federal Health Care Program. At its discretion given such circumstances,
COUNTY may request that CONTRACTOR(S) cease providing services until resolution of the charges
or the proposed exclusion.
B. CONTRACTOR(S) agrees that all potential new employees of
CONTRACTOR(S) or subcontractors of CONTRACTOR(S) who, in each case, are expected to perform
professional services under this Agreement, will be queried as to whether: (1) they are now or ever
have been excluded, suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in the Federal Health
Care Programs; (2) they have been convicted of a criminal offense related to the provision of health
care items or services; and or (3) they have been reinstated to participation in the Federal Health Care

convicted of a criminal offense relating to the provision of health care services, and CONTRACTOR(S)
hires or engages such potential employee or subcontractor, CONTRACTOR(S) will ensure that said
employee or subcontractor does no work, either directly or indirectly relating to services provided to
COUNTY.
2) Notwithstanding the above, COUNTY at its discretion may terminate this
Agreement in accordance with Section Two (2) of this Agreement, or require adequate assurance (as
defined by COUNTY) that no excluded, suspended or otherwise ineligible employee or subcontractor of

I. BACKGROUND
COUNTY, on behalf of the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), Mental Health Services Act
(MHSA), Community Services and Supports (CSS), has developed a Master Agreement for
Cultural Specific Services that are a unique blend of traditional mental health services and non-
traditional culture based treatments and supports in an integrated model for seriously
emotionally disturbed (SED) children/youth and seriously mentally ill (SMI) adult persons served
in Fresno County’s culturally diverse, underserved and unserved populations.
Program Intent and Goals - Based upon the MHSA community/stakeholder input process
resulted in the priority to enhance cultural services and the integration with primary care service
centers for the community. This Agreement seeks to expand culturally competent and
linguistically accessible community-based specialty mental health services provided by licensed
and unlicensed/waivered mental health professionals to SED/SMI persons served and their
families. Acute shortage of licensed mental health professionals, who are of
culturally/ethnic/linguistically-specific descent, has been identified as a barrier to linguistic
access and culturally competent services in an individual/family driven service model that
promotes wellness and recovery. Culturally specific specialty mental health programs will
secure and maintain culturally and linguistically competent mental health staff for intended
populations through development and establishment of clinical training sites.
The Affordable Care Act significantly increased access to Medi-Cal for many community
members and services for individuals with mild to moderate impairments by making services
now readily available through managed care health plans. However, there remains a great
need for services to individuals with serious mental illness across many unique cultural
populations.
The intention of this Agreement is for organizations with specific and unique experience in
working with cultural/ethnic/linguistic populations to develop comprehensive specialty mental
health programs for the SED/SMI individuals and their families in those populations. This
Cultural Specific Services Agreement is expected to increase the number of cultures served,
breadth of service, number of persons served, and the levels of care provided through
programs that are a unique blend of traditional mental health services and non-traditional
culture based treatments and supports. This integrated model shall service more than one
Exhibit B
Page 2 of 15
level of care and provide holistic behavioral health care immersed in individual culture.
SED/SMI persons served who prefer to receive care within the context of their identified
culture shall be fully immersed in a comprehensive program.
II. TARGET POPULATION
Priority target populations identified to receive cultural/ethnic/linguistic specialty mental health
services include, but may not be limited to: African-Americans; American Indian/Alaska
Native; Asian Pacific Islanders; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning
(LGBTQ); Punjabi; Southeast Asians; and refugee populations. Cultural Specific Services,
while targeting these specific unserved and underserved groups, should be able to link all age
groups, populations, and cultures to appropriate services as needed. There should be no
exclusion criteria.
Program services will target adults and older adults who are SMI and may include a family
system approach that also targets children and adolescents who are SED. CONTRACTOR(S)
shall specify target age ranges to be served, including SMI adults, SMI older adults, SED
youth and/or the SED TAY population. At a minimum, services to SMI adults and older adults
must be provided. Service populations are identified for each CONTRACTOR in Exhibit A and
Exhibits B-1 et seq.
Other characteristics of the target population will depend on the levels of care to be provided
by each individual CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR(S) shall identify the levels of care to be
provided for their specific intended population, which may include outpatient (OP), intensive
case management (ICM) and/or full service partnership (FSP) services. Individuals who fall
under the FSP criteria include those who are in danger of homelessness, hospitalizations, out
of home placements, incarcerations or emergency room visits, are in need of high level of
services and potentially provide services on a 24-hour, seven day a week schedule.
Referrals for the Cultural Specific Services program will come from COUNTY-operated and
contracted programs, other community organizations, and individual self-referrals. DBH
persons served will be prioritized; CONTRACTOR(S) will be responsible for contacting DBH
first whenever an opening becomes available. Enrollment into the FSP component will be
approved through DBH Urgent Care and Wellness Center.
III. LOCATION OF SERVICES
Services are to be delivered wherever the intended target population resides, which may be
Fresno/Clovis metro areas, County rural areas, or both. Network adequacy standards for time
and distance under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicaid
Managed Care Final Rule must be applied. See also Mental Health Substance Use Disorder
Services (MHSUDS) Info Notice No. 18-011. CONTRACTOR(S) shall provide a plan for
transportation or access to services for rural areas, if not the place of residence for the
majority of the intended population.
Services can be delivered in the home, community, school or other community-based settings
as determined by collaborating with all relevant parties. Telehealth, mobile services, and co-
location in natural supports and gathering places for the intended population are additional
options to increase the frequency of individuals obtaining needed services, as some persons
served and families are reluctant to seek services from traditional mental health settings.
Satellite sites in rural communities are also strongly recommended.

available during normal business hours and on-call during off-hour periods. This
position may be subcontracted out.
• Staff members working directly with persons served will provide outreach outside of
the office setting and have the capacity to provide as many contacts as needed with
persons served to meet their recovery/resiliency and wellness goals.
VI. HOURS OF OPERATION
Hours of operation must ensure availability to persons served and families as needed and
necessary. A minimum of eight (8) hours, five (5) days per week is required. Should persons
served/family members require services during non-traditional hours, CONTRACTOR(S) will
work to accommodate the persons served/family members in the most appropriate manner.
CONTRACTOR(S) are encouraged to provide details of business hours outside of traditional
business hours.
Exhibit B
Page 13 of 15
If CONTRACTOR(S) provide FSP services, they must provide a plan to detail coverage for
24-hours/day and seven (7) days/week appropriate for the percentage of persons served
under FSP services.
VII. AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL LENTH OF STAY
CONTRACTOR(S) shall describe expected average individual length of stay based on
applicable evidence-based, community-based, and/or cultural-based promising or emerging
practice for each modality of service level to be provided.
VII. FUNDING
Funding Use – MHSA CSS guidelines stipulated by the DHCS specifically limit how CSS
funds may be used. The funding for Cultural Specific Services is to provide for salaries and
benefits of staff, training, consumer incentives, planning and operational costs, lease space,
technology, transportation needs, and other acceptable expenses that carry out the intent of
this project. CONTRACTOR(S)’ individual funding allocations are identified and detailed in
Exhibits E-1 et seq.
Services will be funded with MHSA CSS funds in the amount of $2,144,626 annually. This
amount is intended to fund multiple Cultural Specific Services programs via this Agreement.
Any Medi-Cal Federal Financial Participation (FFP) estimated revenue will be in addition to
the amount of MHSA CSS funds indicated.
CONTRACTOR(S) shall incorporate costs for an electronic health record system and staff
training into their program budgets. Clinical training services are not to include expenses
such as board license or exam fees. If FSP services are provided, CONTRACTOR(S) shall
include estimated revenues from individual fees in the budget.
VIII. PROGRAM OUTCOMES/PERFORMANCE OUTCOME MEASURES
Services and Performance Measures - Under the provision of the MHSA CSS component,
COUNTY’s DBH receives funding to expand, develop and create successful CSS programs
for children, transitional aged youth, adults, and older adults in a culturally, ethically, and
linguistically competent approach for underserved and unserved populations. Culturally
specific approaches by CONTRACTOR(S) to these services, and their performance measures
and outcome goals are identified and detailed in Exhibits B-1 et seq.
All CONTRACTOR(S) shall comply with all project monitoring and compliance protocols,
procedures, data collection methods, and reporting requirements requested by the COUNTY.
CONTRACTOR(S) shall use performance outcome measures for evaluating program and
system effectiveness to ensure services and service delivery strategies are positively impacting
the service population.
In addition, these measures shall be used to ensure Cultural Specific Services are in alignment
with MHSA guiding principles which are inclusive of: an integrated service experience;
community collaboration; cultural competence; individual/family driven service; and wellness,
resilience, and recovery focused services.
Goals of the program include less utilization of more costly crisis services, and minimization or
avoidance of more severe outcomes such as substance use disorder, hospitalization or
incarceration.
Exhibit B
Page 14 of 15
Performance outcome measures shall be tracked on an ongoing basis and used to update the
COUNTY monthly (by the 10th of the month following the report period). In addition,
performance outcome measures are reported to the COUNTY annually in accumulative reports
for overall program and contract evaluation. Forms and tools used to gather and report data
reflecting services provided, populations served, and impact of those services are to be
developed by the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR(S). CONTRACTOR(S) will work closely with
the COUNTY to analyze the data and make necessary adjustments to service delivery and
reporting requirements before the start of each new fiscal year.
CONTRACTOR(S)’ specific performance measures and outcome goals are identified and
detailed in Exhibit B-1 et seq. Measurable outcomes may be reviewed for input and approval
by a designated DBH work group upon contract execution and adjusted as needed each new
fiscal year. The purpose of this review process is to ensure a comprehensive system wide
approach to the evaluation of programs through an effective outcome reporting process.
DBH collects data about the characteristics of the persons served and measures service
delivery performance indicators in each of the following CARF DOMAINS. At minimum, one
performance indicator will be identified for each of the four CARF domains listed below.
1. Effectiveness: A performance dimension that assesses the degree to which an
intervention or services have achieved the desired outcome/result/quality of care through
measuring change over time. The results achieved and outcomes observed are for
persons served.
Examples of indicators include: Persons get a job with benefits, or receive supports
needed to live in the community, increased function, activities, or participation, and
improvement of health, employment/earnings, or plan of care goal attainment.
2. Efficiency: Relationship between results and resources used, such as time, money, and
staff. The demonstration of the relationship between results and the resources used to
achieve them. A performance dimension addressing the relationship between the
outputs/results and the resources used to deliver the service.
Examples of indicators include: Direct staff cost per person served, amount of time it
takes to achieve an outcome, gain in scores per days of service, service hours per
person achieving some positive outcome, total budget (actual cost) per person served,
length of stay and direct service hours of clinical and medical staff.
3. Access: Organizations’ capacity to provide services of those who desire or need
services. Barriers or lack thereof for persons obtaining services. The ability of persons
served to receive the right service at the right time. A performance dimension
addressing the degree to which a person needing services is able to access those
services.
Examples of indicators include: Timeliness of program entry (From 1st request for
service to 1st service), ongoing wait times/wait lists, minimizing barriers to getting
services, and no-show/cancellation rates.
4. Satisfaction: Satisfaction Measures are usually orientated towards consumers, family,
staff, and stakeholders. The degree to which persons served, COUNTY and other
Exhibit B
Page 15 of 15
stakeholders are satisfied with services. A performance dimension that describes
reports or ratings from persons served about services received from an organization.
Examples of indicators include: opinion of persons served or other key stakeholders in
regards to access, process, or outcome of services received, Consumer and/or
Treatment Perception Survey.
Final selected measures will be agreed upon in contract negotiations along with liquidated
damages. CONTRACTOR(S) must address each of the categories referenced above and
may additionally propose other performance and outcome measures that are deemed best to
evaluate the services provided to persons served and/or to evaluate overall program
performance. Separate performance and outcomes measures are expected for specialty
mental health services and clinical training services. DBH may adjust the performance and
outcome measures periodically throughout the duration of the agreement, as needed, to best
measure the program as determined by COUNTY. CONTRACTOR(S) shall utilize and
integrate clinical tools as directed by DBH. The CANS 50 and PSC-35 will be used as the
assessment and screening tools for children and youth. Reaching Recovery are outcome
tools for adults.
CONTRACTOR(S) must utilize a computerized tracking system with which performance and
outcome measures and other relevant individual data, such as demographics, will be
maintained. The data tracking system may be incorporated into the CONTRACTOR(S)’ EHR
or be a stand-alone database. DBH must be afforded read-only access to the data tracking
system, if applicable. DBH prefers that the CONTRACTOR(S) utilize its current EHR (Avatar)
with full access being provided by DBH. However, if the CONTRACTOR(S) is unable or
unwilling to utilize DBH’s current EHR, arrangements must be made to ensure that an
interface to transfer all necessary reporting and outcome information is developed to meet the
needs of DBH.
Additional Reporting Requirements
CONTRACTOR(S) will be responsible for meeting with DBH on a monthly basis, or more often
as agreed upon between DBH and CONTRACTOR(S), for contract and performance
monitoring. CONTRACTOR(S) will be required to submit monthly reports to the COUNTY that
will include, but not be limited to: dollars billed for Medi-Cal and non-Medi-Cal persons
served; actual expenses; the number of persons served served/anticipated to be served;
utilization of services by persons served; and staff composition. These reports will be due
within thirty (30) days after the last day of the previous month or payments may be delayed.
Additional reporting is required for FSPs by DHCS. DHCS uses the FSP Data Collection and
Reporting (DCR) system to ensure adequate research and evaluation regarding the
effectiveness of services being provided and the achievement of the outcome measures.
CONTRACTOR(S) who provide FSP services will need to report individual/partner information
and outcomes of the FSP program directly into the DCR system. An Efficiency Domain
review cost per client for each twelve (12) month period is also required.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Fresno Center shall utilize culturally and linguistically capable, qualified mental health
practitioners to provide three levels of care, outpatient (OP), intensive case management (ICM),
and Full Service Partnership (FSP) services, to the Southeast Asian (SEA) community, particularly
those of Hmong, Laotian, Vietnamese or Cambodian descent, through the “Living Well Center”
(LW C). Program services are designed to serve SEA individuals that have serious emotional
disturbances (SED) or serious mental illness (SMI), and are in need of on-going community-based
services. The Fresno Center will use SEA non-licensed/waivered mental health clinicians, under
clinical direction and oversight by licensed clinicians, to increase capacity of persons served and
EXHIBIT B-1
Page 2 of 11
the volume of specialty mental health services to the SEA population. The LWC shall primarily
serve Fresno County Medi-Cal-eligible children, adults and older adults with mental health
treatment focusing on individuals with SED or SMI, and having problems coping with the
assimilation process. The mental health services shall be provided in appropriate SEA languages
accordingly to serve targeted population.
All referrals to The Fresno Center for FSP services shall be approved by COUNTY’s Department of
Behavioral Health (DBH) Urgent Care Wellness Center.
In addition, The Fresno Center shall maintain a clinical supervision/training program for SEA
graduate, post-graduate, doctoral and post-doctoral students. The goal of the program is to
increase the number of licensed mental health professionals of SEA descent whose bi-lingual and
bi-cultural capacity will allow greater accessibility to mental health services for those who are of
Hmong, Laotian, Vietnamese or Cambodian descent.
TARGET POPULATION
Participation for LWC is on a voluntary basis. The target population to be served annually shall be
250 child/youth (ages 0-18), adult (ages 19-64) and older adult (ages 65 & older) individuals, at
any given time, who are of SEA descent and are in need of culturally competent, linguistically
accessible mental health services.
A minimum caseload consisting of 220 SEA persons served shall be enrolled in the
outpatient/intensive case management component throughout each twelve (12) month period of
this Agreement.
A minimum caseload consisting of 30 SEA persons served shall be enrolled in the FSP component
throughout each twelve (12) month period of this Agreement.
LOCATION OF SERVICES
The current physical site for the LWC is centrally located in an area that is known as "Ban
Vinai/Asian Village", where many Southeast Asians live and shop. Additionally, there are
accessible public transit bus routes and plenty of open parking spaces.
LW C services may be expanded to include service delivery in the home, community, school or
other community-based settings, as some individuals and families are reluctant to seek services
from traditional mental health settings, or if other barriers like transportation and childcare become
barriers. This expansion in terms of location of services may also include telehealth, mobile
services, and co-location in natural supports and gathering places for the SEA population. These
locations will be determined in collaboration with the person served and treating clinician, and with
approval of the program director.

FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIP SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL
Full Service Partnerships (FSP) are designed as a partnership between enrollees and the
service provider. The FSP service delivery ethic incorporates recovery and cultural competence
into the services and supports offered to consumers. In this partnership, the service provider
commits to do "whatever it takes" and to “meet the client where they are” in order to assist the
enrollee achieve their personal recovery/resiliency and wellness goals.
1. The Target Population is consistent with the population identified in the Fresno
County MHSA Community Planning Process.
The target population must meet requirements for SMI/SED diagnosis, and must address
reduction of specific ethnic disparities, as indicated in the MHSA Community Services and
Supports proposal.
The target population will include clients who are not currently served and meet one or more of
the following criteria:
• Homeless.
• At risk of homelessness – such as youth aging out of foster care orpersons coming out
of jail.
• Involved in the criminal justice system (including adults with child protection issues).
• Frequent users of hospital and emergency room services.
or are so underserved that they are at risk of:
• Homelessness – such as persons living in institutions or nursing homes.
• Criminal justice involvement.
• Institutionalization.
Diagnoses that serve as criteria for inclusion in the target population will be based on definitions
found in California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 5600.3 defining seriously emotionally
disturbed mental disorder or serious mental disorder. The operational definition of “diagnosis”
for programs serving the chronically homeless may also include: co-occurring disorders,
personality disorders, general anxiety/mood disorders, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
2. FSP Program Components:
All MHSA FSP Programs must include the following in their program descriptions:
• Providers who are part of the multidisciplinary, community based “treatment”
teams serve as an ally to the consumer’s recovery process. The partnership allows
clients and family members opportunities for informed choice.
o The team description must demonstrate commitment and capacity to do
“whatever it takes” to assist the enrolled member, specifically:
Low staff to client ratio (approximately 1:12 or the ratio that has been
specified in the RFP’s scope of work).
24/7 availability of the multidisciplinary team.
Team culture is created where each member of the team knows each
client and the clients are familiar with each member of the team.
Members of the team speak the client’s language, are familiar with
community resources that reflect the healing beliefs of the client’s culture,
and are positioned to assist the client make meaningful connection with
those resources.
EXHIBIT C
Page 2 of 4
Crisis response comes from a person known to the client.
Staff is given the administrative flexibility and flex-funding to connect
consumers with non-mental health services and same day needs.
Examples include: housing; primary care; dual disorder services;
education services and supports; vocational services and supports; payee
services/benefits advocacy; community recreational activities (YMCA
classes, libraries, movie theaters, etc.); social services; food;
transportation; and clothing.
Availability of Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment or other dual recovery
intervention that will provide effective treatment for the target population.
• Outreach and engagement. The team’s outreach and engagement strategy must be
voluntary and driven by the values of client culture. This means that consumers will be
engaged “where they are” in terms of their community location, their need for clinical and
non-clinical services/supports and their phase of recovery. Outreach workers will have
culturally competent language skills and will function as an ally to the consumer’s
decision to receive services. Peer Support will be included in the outreach and
engagement of new clients.
• Procedures for enrollment and dis-enrollment will be easily understood, clearly
communicated and non-coercive. Enrollment is voluntary. A condition of enrollment
is that the client indicates that they want services from the assertive-community
treatment model team.
• Each adult, older adult, and transition age youth enrollee must have a Personal
Service Coordinator (PSC). The PSC is an ally to the enrollee and acts as a “single
point of responsibility” within the multidisciplinary team for coordinating services and
supports.
“Personal Service Coordinators (PSCs) for adults – case managers for children and
youth – must have a caseload that is low enough so that: (1) their availability to the
individual and family is appropriate to their service needs, (2) they are able to provide
intensive services and supports when needed, and (3) they can give the individual
served and/or family member considerable personal attention…PSCs/case managers
must be culturally competent, and know the community resources of the client’s racial
ethnic community.” (Source: DMH Planning Requirements, Section III Identifying
Populations for Full Service Partnerships, Aug 2005)
• Each enrollee must have an Integrated Services and Supports Plan (ISSP) that is
developed with their Personal Services Coordinator. This ISSP is a planning tool
that builds on the consumer’s strengths. It includes goals and provides a map of the
steps that the enrollee identifies as necessary to move along his/her recovery path.
“Integrated Services and Supports Plans must operationalize the five fundamental
concepts (identified in section three of this exhibit) and should reflect community
collaboration, be culturally competent, be client/family driven with a
wellness/recovery/resiliency focus and they must provide an integrated service
experience for the client/family. In addition, the ISSP will be person/child-centered, and
give individuals and their families’ sufficient information to allow them to make informed
choices about the services in which they participate. Services should also include
linkage to, or provision of, all needed services or benefits as defined by the client and or
family in consultation with the PSC/case manager. This includes the capability of
increasing or decreasing service intensity as needed.” (Source: DMH Planning
EXHIBIT C
Page 3 of 4
Requirements, Section III Identifying Populations for Full Service Partnerships, Aug
2005)
• Peer support services will be made available to the client. At least two staff (a
minimum of 1 FTE) who act in peer support roles will be employed in each MHSA
program.
o The enrollee is given significant access to peer recovery and self-help services.
Tools such as Advanced Directives are made available to adult and older adult
clients, and Wellness Recovery Action Plans (WRAP) are made available to
adult, transition age youth and older adult clients.
o Peer Counselors are included as equal partners in the multidisciplinary team, and
play a critical role in developing the recovery culture and client orientation of the
team.
3. The Five (5) Core MHSA Concepts are embedded in each program.
Concept 1: Recovery/Resiliency Orientation: FSPs will embody the values of
recovery and resiliency (i.e., hope, personal responsibility, self-advocacy, choice,
respect) and the program principles of recovery and resiliency, including:
• Client-driven goal setting and Individualized Services and Supports Plans.
• Providers are allies to the client’s recovery process.
• A harm-reduction approach to substance use that encourages recovery and
abstinence but does not penalize consumers or withdraw help from them if
they are using.
• A built in understanding and expectation of setbacks as part of recovery.
• Links to a range of services that are part of the consumers “pathway to
wellness” (i.e., employment, health care, peer support, housing, medications,
food and clothing).
Concept 2: Cultural Competence Orientation: The program’s structure, staffing and
service delivery values will reflect the cultural values and orientation of the program’s
target populations.
The FSP program will embody principals of cultural competence including:
Diverse staff, representative of the primary ethnic groups to be reached through the
program.
Staff trained regarding common access barriers for racial and ethnic groups targeted
(including the impact of housing discrimination).
Links to community-based organizations that share the healing beliefs and practices
of ethnic communities served by the FSP.
The FSP program must also be able to deal with gender and sexual orientation diversity.
Training in sensitivity to gender and sexuality issues is a key component for staff on the
team.
Concept 3: Community Collaboration: FSP Collaborations ensure that community
resources are made available to enrollees. These collaborations include subcontracts
between the vendor and other agencies, memoranda of understanding with community
non-profits and businesses regarding providing services to clients, and informal
relationships built between FSP staff and community stakeholders that result in
improved access and decreased discrimination.
EXHIBIT C
Page 4 of 4
Concept 4: Client/Family Driven program: In FSPs, the Integrated Services and
Supports Plan (ISSP) is used by adult clients and families of children and youth to
identify their needs and preferences which lead to the services and supports that will be
most effective for them. Providers work in full partnership with clients to develop these
ISSPs. Their needs and preferences drive the policy and financing decisions that affect
them.
Concept 5: Integrated Service Experience: FSP programs were incorporated into the
MHSA to ensure that these dollars funded “integrated service experiences”. This means
that services are “seamless” to clients and that clients do not have to negotiate multiple
agencies and funding sources to get critical needs met and to move towards recovery
and develop resiliency. Services are delivered, or at a minimum, coordinated through a
single agency or a system of care. The integrated service experience centers on the
individual/family, uses a strength-based approach, and includes multi-agency programs
and joint planning to best address the individual/family’s needs using the full range of
community-based treatment, case management, and interagency system components
required by children/transition age youth/adults/older adults.

FRESNO COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH PLAN
Grievances
Fresno County Mental Health Plan (MHP) provides beneficiaries with a grievance and
appeal process and an expedited appeal process to resolve grievances and disputes at
the earliest and the lowest possible level.
Title 9 of the California Code of Regulations requires that the MHP and its fee-for-service
providers give verbal and written information to Medi-Cal beneficiaries regarding the
following:
• How to access specialty mental health services
• How to file a grievance about services
• How to file for a State Fair Hearing
The MHP has developed a Consumer Guide, a beneficiary rights poster, a grievance
form, an appeal form, and Request for Change of Provider Form. All of these
beneficiary materials must be posted in prominent locations where Medi-Cal
beneficiaries receive outpatient specialty mental health services, including the waiting
rooms of providers’ offices of service.
Please note that all fee-for-service providers and contract agencies are required to give
their clients copies of all current beneficiary information annually at the time their
treatment plans are updated and at intake.
Beneficiaries have the right to use the grievance and/or appeal process without any
penalty, change in mental health services, or any form of retaliation. All Medi-Cal
beneficiaries can file an appeal or state hearing.
Grievances and appeals forms and self addressed envelopes must be available for
beneficiaries to pick up at all provider sites without having to make a verbal or written
request. Forms can be sent to the following address:
Fresno County Mental Health Plan
P.O. Box 45003
Fresno, CA 93718-9886
(800) 654-3937 (for more information)
(559) 488-3055 (TTY)
Provider Problem Resolution and Appeals Process
The MHP uses a simple, informal procedure in identifying and resolving provider
concerns and problems regarding payment authorization issues, other complaints and
concerns.
Informal provider problem resolution process – the provider may first speak to a Provider
Relations Specialist (PRS) regarding his or her complaint or concern.
Exhibit K
Page 2 of 2
The PRS will attempt to settle the complaint or concern with the provider. If the attempt
is unsuccessful and the provider chooses to forego the informal grievance process, the
provider will be advised to file a written complaint to the MHP address (listed above).
Formal provider appeal process – the provider has the right to access the provider
appeal process at any time before, during, or after the provider problem resolution
process has begun, when the complaint concerns a denied or modified request for MHP
payment authorization, or the process or payment of a provider’s claim to the MHP.
Payment authorization issues – the provider may appeal a denied or modified request
for payment authorization or a dispute with the MHP regarding the processing or
payment of a provider’s claim to the MHP. The written appeal must be submitted to the
MHP within 90 calendar days of the date of the receipt of the non-approval of payment.
The MHP shall have 60 calendar days from its receipt of the appeal to inform the
provider in writing of the decision, including a statement of the reasons for the decision
that addresses each issue raised by the provider, and any action required by the
provider to implement the decision.
If the appeal concerns a denial or modification of payment authorization request, the
MHP utilizes a Managed Care staff who was not involved in the initial denial or
modification decision to determine the appeal decision.
If the Managed Care staff reverses the appealed decision, the provider will be asked to
submit a revised request for payment within 30 calendar days of receipt of the decision
Other complaints – if there are other issues or complaints, which are not related to
payment authorization issues, providers are encouraged to send a letter of complaint to
the MHP. The provider will receive a written response from the MHP within 60 calendar
days of receipt of the complaint. The decision rendered buy the MHP is final.

NOTICE OF CHILD ABUSE REPORTING LAW
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that Penal Code section 11166 and the
contractual obligations between County of Fresno (COUNTY) and CONTRACTOR(S)
related to the provision of Cultural Specific Services, require that the undersigned report
all known or suspected child abuse or neglect to one or more of the agencies set forth in
Penal Code (PC) section (§) 11165.9.
For purposes of the undersigned’s child abuse reporting requirements, “child
abuse or neglect” includes physical injury inflicted by other than accidental means upon
a child by another person, sexual abuse as defined in PC §11165.1, neglect as defined
in PC §11165.2, willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment as defined in PC §11165.3,
and unlawful corporal punishment or injury as defined in PC §11165.4.
A child abuse report shall be made whenever the undersigned, in his or her
professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or
observes a child whom the undersigned knows or reasonably suspects has been the
victim of child abuse or neglect. (PC §11166.) The child abuse report shall be made to
any police department or sheriff’s department (not including a school district police or
security department), or to any county welfare department, including Fresno County
Department of Social Services’ 24 Hour CARELINE. (See PC §11165.9.)
For purposes of child abuse reporting, a “reasonable suspicion” means that it is
objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion, based upon facts that could
cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her
training and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. The pregnancy of a child
does not, in and of itself, constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse.
(PC §11166(a)(1).)
Substantial penalties may be imposed for failure to comply with these child abuse
reporting requirements.
Further information and a copy of the law may be obtained from the department
head or designee.
I have read and understand the above statement and agree to comply with the
child abuse reporting requirements.

RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS--PRIMARY COVERED TRANSACTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION
1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective primary participant is providing
the certification set out below.
2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily
result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall
submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The
certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or
agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the
prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify
such person from participation in this transaction.
3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was
placed when the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is
later determined that the prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the
department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the
department or agency to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective
primary participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has
become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
5. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible, participant, person,
primary covered transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this
clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules
implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the department or agency to which
this proposal is being submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations.
6. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system
of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The
knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally
possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
