BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
At the December Public Policy meeting and multiple other BOCC venues, Board members have had questions about the role Alliance Health Plan plays in meeting the behavioral health needs of Mecklenburg County residents. Several Board members requested a presentation from Alliance to gain a better understanding of the current landscape. County and Board leaders met with Alliance leadership in February and pertinent information shared in that meeting will be shared with the full BOCC in this presentation.
PROCUREMENT BACKGROUND:
N/A
POLICY IMPACT:
Clarification on Alliance’s role, funding allocation, service array, and local utilization will strengthen the Board’s understanding of the state’s public behavioral health system and influence how the BOCC decides to move forward in attempting to address remaining behavioral health gaps.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no direct fiscal impacts that will come from this presentation. The knowledge gained may influence future County behavioral health funding decisions.
