Commissioners,

~ ~: ~ u,~ rn@ MASON COUNTY

COMMISSIONERS

I am a community psychiatrist, working in Thurston and Grays Harbor Counties for the last 22 years,

writing on behalf of my patients and colleagues to ask for your review, and hopefully your intervention,

regarding Washington State's system of mental health care for Medicaid recipients in your counties.

Mental Health provision in Washington State-for Medicaid clients has-devolved fnto a·system where

policies are set in place that discriminate against the mentally ill. It is a system where the real care of

these patients is not only seriously underfunded, but the Regional Support Networks in Thurston/Mason

and Grays Harbor Counties, along with Behavioral Health Resources (BHR), have entrusted a seriously

flawed negotiation of contract that is tragically leading to the decimation of mental health services in

those counties. The sides have become exhausted, there is no flexibility; they are committed to a course

that has destroyed confidence in workers at Behavioral Health Resources and is patently a failed

exercise.

I write to you not to identify a culprit. I write because I sincerely fear the current contract is seriously

myopic, the real world consequences of Which have escaped the abllity of the RSNs and BH R to keep in

consciousness, let alone correct. Your intercession is requested .

The State Mental Health Division evolved the RSN system more than a decade ago, in order, in part, to

divest them of the responsibility for managing the day to day financing of community mental health

needs. The vision was to have 13 different regions, individually responsible forthe management of the

available dollars for mental health care, with the hope that local control would allow flexibility in the

tailoring of those resources to local needs.

Early on it became clear the State was investing a tremendous amount of power and control in the RSN

structure. Contrary to what the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services envisioned, the RSN's were

allowed in this state to operate with federal funds (the matching 50% of Medicaid funding for mental

health) without opening the process to bidding from other mental health management organizations.

My understanding is that CMS issued a statement requiring the Washington State Mental Health

Division to open the process to biddin_g, late in 2013. It is my understanding that the State has

responded that they have no intention to comply.

The RSN's, at their inception, quickly understood they had a monopoly situation and could dictate

terms to the contractual providers. Over the last decade, there were a series of contracts that were

proffered by the Thurston/Mason and Grays Harbor RSNs, to which the community mental health

system could only accede.There were no real negotiations, certainly not of equals. Therewere demands

from the RSN, with threats that contracts would not be forthcoming unless the demands were accepted.

Increasingly the demands within these subsequent contracts, in Thurston/Mason and Grays Harbor

Counties, have seriously eroded the abi lity of providers to do their job.

Page 7: BOARD Of MASON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DRAFT MEETING …€¦ · 8.1 Approval to authorize the chair to execute the local agency haul road/detour with the Washington State Department

" The RSN's in Thurston/Mason and Grays Harbor County made the issue of billing for patients

one where all providers, of any discipline, were paid, wholly determined, by a single flat rate for

'face to face' time.

" From that simple beginning, there was borne a multitude of unforeseen consequences.

" One particularly egregious consequence, which runs counter to quality of care, was a

disincentive to have case managers or therapists attend medical appointments with patients,

because that was seen as 'double billing', and that was not allowed. So this disincentive drove a

wedge into the coordination of care for the most seriously disorganized patients in our care,

who could benefit immensely from having a staff member who could get the patients to the

appointment, remember the conversation, and help the patients integrate their visit. The

decision to adopt this restriction had nothing to do with quality of care. It diminished care.

.. BHR, through contract fiat, was dropped into a situation where they were not reimbursed, at

any level, for no show patients. BHR was made to bear financial responsibility for the fact that,

within our population, there are necessarily some very seriously irresponsible, very

disorganized, very impoverished, very ill people. It follows that there is a certain 'no show' rate

that accompanies these predispositions. That no show rate is not a function of BHR's lack of

responsibility, lack of outreach, lack of compassion, lack of prompting or failure to remind. We

at BHR, as an agency, can perform every conceivable action to counter no shows, and still, given

the nature of our population, a no show rate will exist.

" In the event of a no show, there are a lot of actions necessary to document, communicate, and

trouble shoot the welfare of the no show patient. With the current contractual reimbursement

for 'face to face' time only, there is somehow the notion that these necessary professional

actions, by BHR employees, should occur for free, as though the no shows occur through our

nonfeasance, or represent some failure on our part, as opposed to the patient's absented

responsibility.

• By making BHR responsible for the financial obligations in trying to engage a difficult population

that society reputedly wants to treat, by having a contract that specifically does not pay for no

shows, the RSN contract successfully offloads the Public Health responsibility to engage the

Medicaid mental health population, placing that responsibility, professional and financial,

squarely on BHR. They do this without needing to admit that there is a cost to the process of

engaging that population, without needing to agree that there is a value to this outreach, this

engagement, without needing to admit there is a Public Health responsibility inherent in this

process, and without agreeing to pay a cent for it to occur.

.. To those of us who deal with mental health consumers (who in their lifetimes are variously

murderers, rapists, victims, felons, depressed, bipolar, anxiety disordered, autistic, personality

disordered, brain injured, chemically dependent, or who may be children of extremely

disorganized, poor families, caught in mayhem), this desire to exculpate the State's

responsibility regarding the very tangible assets necessary to engage our population seems at

best extremely expedient, entirely and obviously na"ive. Speaking for my patients, I struggle to

portray this as anything less than an action that discriminates against the mentally HI. Willfully

ignoring the reality that it takes considerable professional effort to secure and continue

Page 8: BOARD Of MASON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DRAFT MEETING …€¦ · 8.1 Approval to authorize the chair to execute the local agency haul road/detour with the Washington State Department

therapeutic relations with this population. Make no mistake, not paying for no shows is a

statement of disregard and disrespect for the nature of the work we are required to do.

" Take my day of 2/11/14 as an example. It was a 9-hour day at a rural site in Elma. I am only

there once every 2 weeks, so there is an hour devoted to staff review of the 15 clients scheduled

to see me, along with troubleshooting cases that are deserving attention, and then again on this

date there were 4 cases presented for referral for Psychiatric evaluation. A total of 7 hours and

15 minutes were devoted to scheduled patient times, over 80% of my day. 45 minutes for

paperwork, 8% of my day. My schedule is filled for 8 weeks into the future; the first

appointment available is 10 weeks out. At the end of the day, 5 clients no show ('dead battery',

'in the ER all night', 'too disorganized to remember', not answering phone, phone no longer

operating), one additional client had been hospitalized, one additional client had cancelled as ill.

All 7 of these patients required time to review latest notes, write notes documenting the missed

appointment, create emails to case managers/therapists/support staff to ask after the welfare

of the clients, along with making sure their medications were sufficient to make it to their next

scheduled appointment, so that they would not become psychotic or otherwise symptomatic

before they can get in nexttime. During the 3.5 hours these no shows are not there, I am, in

addition, expected to field 30-40 emails on other cases that are percolating at 2 other sites

where I work, which in turn requires, in response to those emails, that I check my last notes,

review their medicines, get prescriptions to pharmacies. In my 'down time' I am, in addition,

expected to review and correct transcription, to finalize notes for the chart.

" None of that time in the current contract is billable. But all of it, 100%, is professionally

necessary. Doing anything less is malpractice.

• Of the remaining appointments, being scrupulous about time spent with the client 'face to face'

only, and working with a patient who walked in without an appointment during my one mid day

paperwork, I collected 3 hours and 17 minutes. That is less than the desired and expected

number of 5.6 hours that I am instructed to average by administration on a 9-hour work day. So

it redounds to me from administration that I am a deficient producer. And the statement of

administration is that if I do not reach my hours of 'face to face' time, there will be disciplinary

measures.

• After years of calculating these figures, I, along with others, have come to the conclusion that if

you miss work during a month, for whatever reason, even if it is within your benefits {accrued

sick time, accrued vacation, accrued education leave), the odds are you will not make your

yearly hours. The arguments used by administration to make their case to the contrary, that the

expected figures are entirely reasonable, fundamentally do not reflect the real calculus of the

uniquely problematic issue of no shows, as it exists in our clinical reality. The expectation of the

RSNs and BHR administration that we exert ultimate control of 1face to face' productivity has

become seriously unmoored from what happens in real time. More difficult yet for line staff is

the complete absence of respect for the quality and execution of our job, one of which purposes

is precisely to collect the less than compliant patients before they wreak havoc in our

communities. That time for shepherding the wayward cases is counted against us, as it does not

count as 'productivity'.

Page 9: BOARD Of MASON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DRAFT MEETING …€¦ · 8.1 Approval to authorize the chair to execute the local agency haul road/detour with the Washington State Department

" BHR was encouraged to keep scrupulous, by the minute, account of 'face to face' time, as a

preferred manner of tracking productivity. In the recent past, and in the present tense, to the

contrary, CMS has gone to very considerable lengths to document a CPT coding system that

acknowledges a gradient of difficulty, for new patient visits and established patient visits, that

does not wholly rely on 'face to face' time. In fact, in current E & M (evaluation and

management) medical billing, time is not an entirely relevant dimension for billing. The

operative principle has moved on to a design that accounts for complexity, rather than time.

" CMS has recognized additional codes for psychiatry; 'intensity modifiers' and coding for

psychotherapy. None of the data relevant to CPT coding for the actual work accomplished is

being collected. Measures of appropriate billing along the guidelines established by CMS are

ignored; seen as superfluous. CMS acknowledges that different difficulties within clinical

situations make those visits reimbursable at differential levels. But with the RSN contract as

enacted, all of that type of normative billing consideration is lost. Neither the RSN nor the BHR

administration find the CPT coding data relevant, as the agreed contract excludes those

determinations. Therefore there is no incentive to cotlect this information. (Bottom line, the

RSNs and BHR have no idea what our real productivity, in the estimation of our Federal funding

source, is.)

" The argument proffered within BHR when these points are raised, is that the RSN and BHR have,

in effect, made a deal with the devil; that going to CPT billing would disallow payment for

therapy and/or case management, and would mean extremely reduced revenue for BHR.

" Which is exactly my point. The RSNs and BHR have hit an impasse that was conceived when they

worked out their expedient contract, and the very construction of that contract, and the

defense of it despite its unworkable tenants, is destroying the confidence and morale of all

workers at BHR, all of whom see the folly of this design.

• We are all being told that we are going to be held individually responsible for the production of

numbers for 'face to face' productivity that are not in our control. We are being treated as

though we are individually responsible to reverse the socioeconomic factors, the epidemic of

chemical dependency, the interference of mental disorders and irresponsibility that is

particularly most true in exactly the people we are tasked to see.

• We are not in the private sector, we may not charge for missed appointments, there is no

financial disincentive for our population to miss appointments. This is not Group Health, this is

not Kaiser Permanente, not private practice. We are threatened with disciplinary action if our

hours are not met. Yet the rules are disproportionate; expected to meet private sector

productivity numbers while there is no parity in the disincentives for missing.

• Make no mistake, the talented people here will leave.

" The system is broken, the model is flawed, and the participants (BHR and RSNs) have no creative

ideas to fix this. The current course is headed for labor action and departure of valued staff. The

RSNs and administration of BHR are not evidencing the capacity to negotiate a workable

solution. They are mired in the misguided certainty that they are proceeding correctly. While

they are proceeding to the end of BHR as we know it.

Page 10: BOARD Of MASON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DRAFT MEETING …€¦ · 8.1 Approval to authorize the chair to execute the local agency haul road/detour with the Washington State Department

I make no apology for the difficulty of my work. I do not work at Macy's cosmetic counter. I make no

apology that it is at times toxic to extremely disorganized, psychotic patients to be forced to endure

appointments of 25 minutes. It is not always in their best interests, it can lead to unpredictable

situations where explosive tempers, assaults, or destruction of property can occur. Conceptualizing the

care of the mentally ill as though it is a retail enterprise is wholly na"ive and ignorant. Getting paid less

for foreshortening a clinical encounter, because of exercising sound judgment that may preclude or

avert a looming disaster in a very complicated case, that is an insult. The premise that more time with a

patient always equals better benefit to the patient is false. Only a person who does not do this job for a

living would maintain otherwise.

Certainly not an the actions of RSNs are working against the care of the mentally ill. We are told it is

indeed likely that insurance companies or independent mental health contracting organizations, if

bidding at the State level were opened, would refuse to pay for case management and/or therapy. That

would be a nightmare of a different sort. So I recognize that the RSN and BHR are locked into their

positions, precisely because they can't see a solution. There needs to be a broader discussion. I call upon

your goodwill and legitimate office to investigate these issues. The losers are going to be the poor with

mental health needs. No one speaks for them.

My suggestion is for the Commissioners to consider immediately pulling back control of the negotiating

process.

With all due respect, possible courses of action would include, but not be limited to:

1. Hold public hearings where these issues can be voiced. From this information, policy decisions

may be fashioned that are informed, and not discriminatory. For clearly, any agency in existence

to provide for the care of the mental health needs of the Medicaid population that does not

fund one cent to engage those people, is shirking, if not abdicating, responsibility.

2. Determine to let BHR operate under a block grant, free from the deleterious effects of the 'face

to face' rule, until the RSN and BHR can demonstrate to you that they are capable of developing

a strategy that does not impede or punish the correct actions of the professionals committed to

the care of the mentally ill Medicaid population. Which most certainly is not the case now.

3. Assign an arbitrator to sit down with the sides to allow for the process of reai binding

negotiations, where the RSN is not automatically empowered to dictate terms. That would be

helpful, as they evidence no awareness of the downwind cost to the public of their

perseverative stance on 'face to face' time, as the single determinant of productivity.

The issues I present to you are undoubtedly coming to you from multiple sources. But we all share

common ground on this. All employees at BHR are afraid for the same reason. The management is

without answer to the fundamental reality that their contract with the RSN is not feasible. Pure and

simple.

Medical colleagues of mine are planning their escape routes; as are, equaHy, non-medical staff. They

are quite clear that they will not allow their good efforts and professionalism to be tarnished by

Page 11: BOARD Of MASON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DRAFT MEETING …€¦ · 8.1 Approval to authorize the chair to execute the local agency haul road/detour with the Washington State Department

administrative punitive measures. They will not stay in an agency that wishes to base their evaluations

on assumptions that bear little relation to the reality of the population served, or the real conduct of the

provision of their highly professional mental health care to their patients. Once this contractual

condition is made adequately visible to future candidates, BHR will be predictably and seriously

hampered in recruiting replacement staff while this 'face to face' rule, and punitive administration

policy, stand.

There is sadness in our ranks that the divide engendered by these issues has caused. I have never

experienced a comparable withering of morale in my 22 years of care in community psychiatry. It is like

your parents are locked in an argument, and their solution is 'Damn the kids.'

We, the professionals who serve to keep this community safe by providing much needed mental

health care, we need your help with this. You are uniquely empowered to have the ability to intercede.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration on behalf of the employees of BHR and the

people we serve. If I can be of any assistance in explaining any of this, please call.

FROM: Tom Moore Ext. 652

DEPARTMENT: Public Works DATE: Marirf 4, 2Dllf No. 82-.

ITEM: Amend the agreement with KBA Construction Management to cover the costs associated with the Belfair Water Reclamation Facility and Storage Pond Closeout.

Background: Mason County is involved in a dispute with the contractor that built the Belfair Water Reclamation Facility. The contractor has failed to meet deadlines for both the completion of the treatment plant and to provide details of their claim to the county and Dispute Resolution Board. To provide continuity of document tracking, assembly and collection of documentation needed for project closeout, Mason County entered into an agreement with KBA Inc. for document management services in September of 2013. In October of 2013 the County requested Forensic Scheduling Services to support its case before the DRB but chose not to adjust the budget for KBA at that time. There are a number of critical documents still needed from the contractor prior to continuing with the DRB process and closing out the project. This amendment extends the contract to provide for the extra time and budget used up in the schedule analysis that was intended the original scope of work.

Recommended Action: Authorize the Director of Public Works to enter into an amendment to the contract with KBA Inc. for an amount not to exceed twenty-two thousand six hundred dollars ($22,600.00), bringing the total contract authorization to eighty-two thousand six hundred dollars. ($82,600)

Attachments: Copy of the contract amendment.

RE: Supplemental 2 I Belfair Wastewater Project ORB - Agreement I KBA Project #013026-01

Dear Tom:

This letter constitutes a supplement to our Agreement dated September 24, 2013, for the referenced project under the provisions of Article C, Changes and Extra Services, whereby the County requested the addition of Forensic Scheduling Services via Supplemental 1 dated October 24, 2013, but chose at that time not to add budget. The original budget has now been expended and additional budget is being added via th is Supplemental 2 to complete services per the original and supplemented scope of work.

Section II - Payment is revised to show a not-to-exceed total budget authorized of Eighty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($82,600.00) . This constitutes an addition of Twenty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($22,600.00) to the original contract value. Work will continue to be performed on an hourly basis plus expenses and will be invoiced at the Billing Rates shown in the attached Exhibit C-1 Rate Sheet.

All other provisions of the original Agreement remain in effect.

Please sign both copies of this Supplemental Agreement 2 and return one executed original to our office. Please give me a call if you have questions. Thank you.

Background: The Hood Canal Coordinating Council (HCCC) received granting funding from EPA, Department of Ecology, and Department of Commerce to provide program support work for the In Lieu Fee Mitigation Program. The Commission Chair signed a Contract and Scope of Work in July that was prepared by HCCC that outlined tasks for Mason County's participation in the Program, together with a funding strategy to achieve those tasks. The duration of the proposal extended through December 2013 and funded approximately 600 hours of staff time for a total of $30,000.00. Completion of the grant and its deliverables did not meet the December deadline and HCCC received a Grant Extension through April 30, 2014. As a sub­recipient of funds from the Grant, this Extension allows Mason County to continue its work under the grant sponsored contract.

Recommended Action: Approval for the Chair to execute an extension of the agreement between the Hood Canal Coordinating Council and the Mason County Department of Community Development for program support work in the In Lieu Fee Mitigation program.

Backgrn1um1d

The Hood Canal Coordinating Council received a grant from EPA/Ecology/Commerce for In-Lieu Fee mitigation (ILF) program support work. The in-lieu fee (ILF) work is divided into 9 interrelated tasks. Tasks 1 through 5 are geared toward completing technical analyses that are needed to identify specific mitigation roster sites in each of the four Hood Canal service areas,

three of which are in Mason County. The ILF Prospectus and Instrument define the general criteria and process for identifying priority mitigation areas using existing watershed

characterization data, but this coarse-scale information needs to be synthesized to create a roster of potential mitigation receiving sites. The work plan involves reviewing background data at the water resources inventory area (WRIA), sub-basin, drift cell scales to formulate an initial list of candidate freshwater and nearshore mitigation sites and actions, with support and review

by the Puget Sound Watershed Characterization Technical Assistance Team (ILF Tasks 1 and 2). Freshwater restoration sites will be assessed using Ecology's wetland credit/debit method (described in Calculating Credits and Debits for Compensatory Mitigation in Western Washington - Operational Draft;. Specific mitigation opportunities will be identified at each site (i.e., fill removal, replanting, floodplain reconnection, etc.) and calculate potential gains in

wetland function that could be achieved if the relevant actions were implemented (ILF Task 3). HCCC anticipates completing this assessment, with assistance from member government staff and other experts, at a total of 9 to12 freshwater wetland sites in the three freshwater service areas, and thus roughly six in Mason County.

Similar analyses will occur at candidate nearshore mitigation sites (ILF Task 4). The nearshore

assessment framework will evaluate a suite of nearshore functions across subtidal, intertidal, tidal wetland and marine riparian habitats. The HCCC will use these data to gauge the relative

amount of ecological lift that could be generated through mitigation actions such as bulkhead removal, replanting, levee breaching, removal of in-/over-water structures, etc. Sites with the

most potential for lift (approximately 5 to 10) will then be further developed as nearshore receiving sites in the ILF Program.

Incorporating qualified freshwater and nearshore roster sites in the ILF Program involves documenting the analysis described above, confirming the results through workshops with key stakeholders, receiving Interagency Review Team (IRT) review and Corps/Ecology approval, and amending the ILF Program Instrument (ILF Task 5).

ILF Task 6 involves working at the direction of each county to review local development

ordinances, identify preferred mitigation approaches, and develop policy, regulatory and operational language that would remove barriers to ILF Program implementation and convey a policy preference for watershed-based mitigation. County planning staff and HCCC staff will utilize outside technical and legal experts as necessary, and interpret rules and/or codify the preference for watershed-based mitigation as directed by policy makers. Though it is not currently anticipated, if Inter-local Agreements are needed to formalize relationships in

10

Page 53: BOARD Of MASON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DRAFT MEETING …€¦ · 8.1 Approval to authorize the chair to execute the local agency haul road/detour with the Washington State Department

governance of this program, they will be developed as draft for circulation and consideration by

member governments (ILF Task 7).

To secure local acceptance and approval of revised codes, HCCC will prepare informational materials

designed to inform decision makers and the public on the merits of watershed-based mitigation. These materials will describe the benefits of ILF mitigation for permit applicants and the environment. HCCC will

work with local planning staff to develop local procedures (e.g. checklists and permit applicant handouts)

for permit review, impact assessment, mitigation sequencing and reporting that create an effective and consistent operational framework for ILF implementation in Mason County and across Hood Canal (ILF

Task 8).

Mason County Work Plan Proposal for ILF Tasks As a cooperative partner in the "Implementing Watershed Characterization in Hood Canal" project, Mason County proposes the following ILF Task descriptions, deliverables and work hours. Due to the variety of

deliverables, Mason County will be providing the appropriate staff member for each task. This requires some flexibility in the number of hours and cost per task. To provide the best estimate possible, an average rate for the primary technical and management staff expected to be involved was calculated at

$50.00/hour and was used for the number or hours per task below. To meet project deliverables, Mason County may shift effort and funding between tasks, after written

approval by the HCCC project manager.

• ILF Tasks 1 Mason County will coordinate with HCCC and partnering jurisdictions, through various communications and meetings, to develop consensus on which watershed and nearshore

documents and data-sets will be most appropriate for site selection.

Item: Schedule hearing for March 18, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. to consider amendments to Mason County Code Title 17, Zoning, Chapter 17.06 revising the definition of "structure" in accordance with RCW 36.70A.70.

Background: Mason County updated Title 14 (Buildings and Construction) by adopting the State's amendments to the International Building Code (IBC). As part of this update, IBC Chapter 1, Section 105.2 exempts fences not over 7 feet in height from requiring a permit. This new exemption conflicts with the County's current adopted Development Regulations that require permits for structures defined as,

anything constructed in the ground, or anything erected which requires location on the ground, or is attached to something having location on or in the ground, but not including fences or signs six feet or less in height, driveways, or other paved areas.

As written, this definition exempts fences less than six feet in height from being considered a structure and as such being exempt from a planning permits. To standardize the language to be consistent with the IBC, the definition of a structure should be revised to omit fences less than seven feet in height.

On February 10, 2014, the Planning Advisory Commission held a public hearing the amendments and recommended adoption by the Board of County Commissioners.

Recommended Action: Board of County Commissioners shall set a public hearing for March 18,

2014 at 9:30 a.m. to consider amendments to Mason County Code Title 17, Section 17.06 revising the definition of "structure" in accordance with RCW 36.70A.70.
