Mental Health Services Act Prevention and Early Intervention, and Medi-Cal Federal
Financial Participation (FFP). Rural Triage Services will be provided in the East Fresno
County cities of: Selma, Sanger, Kingsburg, Fowler, Reedley, Orange Cove and Parlier;
and in the rural West Fresno County cities of Firebaugh, Mendota, Kerman, San
Joaquin, Huron, and Coalinga. Services should be flexible to the needs of rural Fresno
County and may include other rural cities and areas between and around the indicated

and/or co-occurring substance use disorders, the general public, emergency first
responders, and other community agencies. Rural Triage Services shall be provided in
collaboration with first responders and out in the field where client interaction with law
enforcement and emergency services personnel (first responders) typically occurs, and
where triage services are most beneficial.
PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goal of this project is to provide triage staff and peer/family consultation service to
the East Fresno County Cities' of Selma, Sanger, Parlier, Orange Cove, Fowler,
Reedley and Kingsburg, and the West Fresno County Cities' of Firebaugh, Mendota,
Kerman, San Joaquin, Huron, and Coalinga in a means that has never been provided.
These services shall be provided by interagency coordination between mental health
and law enforcement to identify, triage, assess, and connect or reconnect clients to
treatment and support, and mitigate unnecessary expenditures of law enforcement.
Program Methods:
1) With the placement of triage staff in rural law enforcement agencies, staff will be
able to establish data that denotes mental health clients, crisis and interventions
for each of the identified communities;
a. Data will identify those that have repeated use of 911/crisis resources,
triage staff will be available to engage and work with clients/families on a
local prevention plan using Wellness Recovery Action Plan tools.
2) Triage staff placement and participation with local law enforcement agencies will
increase justice system resources for response to safety and criminal behavior
calls/needs.
a. Triage staff will be on-site for rapid response and mental health triage and
assessment as a subject matter expert and provide appropriate
interventions and or linkages with follow up.
3) Individuals with mental illness who engage with law enforcement will have more
efficient access to crisis services, receive treatment more sensitive to their
mental condition, experience fewer legal concerns and costs related to the
encounter with law enforcement, have improved safety and experience less
discrimination.
4) Provision of mental health sensitivity and crisis education to assist paramedics to
triage clients in an appropriate means if medical criteria do not indicate an
Emergency Department admission.
To achieve these objectives, refer to Exhibit 8 and Exhibit Be for indicators of what
will be tracked.

COUNTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
COUNTY SHALL:
Exhibit A
Page 7 of8
1) Provide oversight, support, coordination, and ongoing monitoring of SB 82 Rural
Triage Services.
2) Notify CONTRACTOR staff of their responsibilities through DBH letters and other
written communications, conferences, formal and informal trainings and individual
consultation.
3) Provide individual consultation on a regular basis and facilitate monthly meetings to
include DBH assigned Analyst and CONTRACTOR's staff.
4) Provide oversight (through the County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH),
Contracts Division of the SB 82 Rural Triage Services program. In addition to
contract monitoring, oversight includes, but is not limited to, coordination with the
State Department of Mental Health as it may pertain to program administration and
outcomes.
5) Assist the CONTRACTOR in making linkages with the total mental health system.
This will be accomplished through regularly scheduled meetings as well as formal
and informal consultation.
6) Participate in evaluating the performance outcomes and progress of the SB 82 Rural
Triage Services program.
7) Receive and analyze statistical performance data information from vendor
throughout the term of contract on a monthly basis. DBH will notify the vendor when
additional participation is required. The performance measurement process will not
be limited to survey instruments but will also include, as appropriate, client and staff
interviews, chart reviews, and other methods of obtaining required information.
8) Recognize that cultural competence is a goal toward which professionals, agencies,
and systems should strive. Becoming culturally competent is a developmental
process and incorporates at all levels the importance of culture, the assessment of
cross-cultural relations, vigilance towards the dynamics that result from cultural
differences, the expansion of cultural knowledge, and the adaptation of services to
meet culturally-unique needs. Offering those services in a manner that fails to
achieve its intended result due to cultural and linguistic barriers is not cost effective.
To assist the vendor efforts towards cultural and linguistic competency, DBH shall
provide the following at no cost to vendor(s):
A. Technical assistance to vendor regarding cultural competency requirements
and sexual orientation training; and
B. Mandatory cultural competency training including sexual orientation and
sensitivity training for DBH and vendor personnel, at minimum once per year.
COUNTY will provide mandatory training regarding the special needs of this
Exhibit A
Page 8 of8
diverse population and will be included in the cultural competence training(s).
Sexual orientation and sensitivity to gender differences is a basic cultural
competence principle and shall be included in the cultural competency
training. Literature suggests that the mental health needs of lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender (LGBT) individuals may be at increased risk for mental
disorders and mental health problems due to exposure to societal stressors
such as stigmatization, prejudice and anti-gay violence. Social support may
be critical for this population. Access to care may be limited due to concerns
about providers' sensitivity to differences in sexual orientation.
9) Assist CONTRACTOR in establishing and maintaining working relationships with
rural first responders, including co-location and co-response needs that may arise.

The program's effectiveness will be evaluated not only by the above indicators, but also through additional means:
1) Shared communication already established with Fresno Police Department and Emergency Medical Services to identify those
individuals that are homeless with mental illness that are transient between communities to create a county-wide system of care and
intervention plan.
2) Each of the receiving agencies will track 'rural triage' as a referring party to their programs, this will capture referral informat1on for
the various prevention and innovation programs that exist outside of traditional mental health facilities in the communities (speakers
bureau, cultural based navigation specialists, community gardens, holistic wellness center, etc).
3) Designated staff will check electronic record system at 3, 6 and 9 month intervals to ensure that additional services were not
provided outside of the plan of care and referrals as outlined by the clinician. This data will provide an overview of effective and less
effective interventions based client needs and each community's resources. Data collection and analysis will be used in community
stakeholder processes, client and family forums and other means to solicit enhanced resources as needed based on actual data.
4) Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health will monitor for program effectiveness, via annual reporting to the community,
outcomes are vetted through clienUfamily advisory committee and Department outcomes review

State Exhibit 6 -Quarterly Report

Current Quarterly Progress Report Process Overview
Current Regulations
Title 9, Division 1, Chapter 14. Article 5: Quarterly Progress Reports must be submitted
to the State Department of Mental Health no later than 60 days following the end of
each reporting quarter and are compiled by service category for each approved
program and/or service. The following information must be included in the Quarterly
Progress Report:
• The targeted number of individuals or families to be served in each reporting
quarter by each program/service during the quarter
• The total number of individuals or families actually served in each reporting
quarter by each program/service during the quarter
• The final Quarterly Progress Report must include the total number of
unduplicated individuals or families served by each program/service during the
fiscal year
Following is a review of how to calculate individuals served within each service category
(Full Service Partnerships, System Development and Outreach and Engagement).
Quarterly Counts:
The quarterly count is unduplicative within quarters but is duplicative between quarters.
The number of actual individuals served equals: the total number of individuals or
families enrolled in the program on the first day of each quarter plus any individuals or
families newly enrolled throughout the quarter.
Example:
Explanation:
Q1: At the beginning of Quarter 1, 1 0 people were enrolled and 10 people were newly
enrolled throughout the quarter, so the total actual served for Quarter 1 would
equal 20 (10 + 10 = 20).
Q2: At the beginning of Quarter 2, 20 people were currently enrolled and 5 more
people were newly enrolled, so the total actual served would equal 25 (20 + 5 =
25).
Exhibit F
State Exhibit 6 -Quarterly Report
Page 2 of 3
Q3: At the beginning of Quarter 3, 20 people were currently enrolled and 7 more
people were newly enrolled throughout the quarter, so the total actual served
would equal 27 (20 + 7 = 27). (Five people disenrolled the previous quarter, so on
the first day of Quarter 3, 20 people were currently enrolled.)
Q4: At the beginning of Quarter 4, 26 people were currently enrolled because one had
disenrolled during Quarter 3, but 5 had been newly enrolled so the total actual
served of 31 (26 + 5 = 27)
Quarterly targets: The quarterly target is an estimate of the total number of individuals
you expect to serve for that quarter. Targeted counts should follow the same strategy as
for actual counts described above.
Unduplicated Annual Counts:
The unduplicated annual count: Equals the total number of people served for the entire
year.
Example:
Q1: At the beginning of Quarter 1, 10 people were enrolled and 1 0 people were newly
enrolled throughout the quarter, so the total unduplicated for Quarter 1 would
equal 20 (1 0 + 10 = 20).
Q2: At the beginning of Quarter 2, 20 people were currently enrolled and 5 more
people were newly enrolled, so the total unduplicated for quarter 2 would be 5.
Q3: At the beginning of Quarter 3, 20 people were currently enrolled and 7 more
people were newly enrolled throughout the quarter, so the total unduplicated for
quarter 3 would be 7.
Q4: At the beginning of Quarter 4, 26 people were currently enrolled and 5 had been
newly enrolled so the total unduplicated for quarter 4 would be 5.
Total Unduplicated Annual Actual Served: 20 + 5 + 7 + 5 = 37
Total Unduplicated Annual Targets: The unduplicated annual target is an estimate of
the total number of unduplicated individuals you expect to serve annually,

Options for Improving the
MHSA Quarterly Progress Reporting Process
Outreach and Engagement:
There are many different methods of providing outreach and engagement services.
Some services are offered in a group or community wide forum and sometimes services
are offered individually. Ideally, it would be helpful to have a combination of service
based and individual level data collection that is submitted on a quarterly basis.
Potential Methods for reporting counts in these service categories:
Categories could be created based on the nature of the services provided. There are
two very broad categories of services and they could be reported differently based on
these categories: For instance:
Community Forum Outreach and Engagement Activities:
When conducting a community forum activity such as a county-wide presentation to
a group of people about a mental health issue, a count of the number of
presentations and the number of individuals that attended could be submitted.
Some indication of the purpose of each event would also be helpful. For instance,
broad categories such as education, workforce development, stigma reduction or
outreach to engage in services could be indicated.
Individual Outreach and Engagement Services:
When conducting outreach and engagement services to individuals, you may have
multiple contacts with an individual prior to engaging them into services. Counting
the number of contacts rather than the number of individuals would provide more
accurate information regarding individual services.
In addition, some demographic information regarding the individuals receiving
services within these categories would be helpful including gender, age and
race/ethnicity. In addition, information regarding the number of face-to-face
contacts vs. phone contacts would also be useful.
System Development:
There are many types of services provided through this category. Some services maybe
offered in a group or community wide forum and some services may be offered to
individuals and families. In addition, some services center around linkage with other
community based organizations. Should the services be categorized similar to what
has been proposed for Outreach and Engagement or should there be different
categories for System Development services?

FRESNO COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH PLAN
GRIEVANCES AND INCIDENT REPORTING
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.

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.
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

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
