The County of Orange Health Care Agency is seeking qualified organizations to provide inpatient behavioral health services for Medi-Cal eligible youth, adults, and older adults experiencing serious mental health conditions or substance use disorders. Services include acute inpatient psychiatric care in secure, licensed facilities, with a focus on stabilization, treatment, and transition to lower levels of care. Providers must deliver comprehensive, trauma-informed, and person-centered services, including psychiatric evaluation, medication management, therapy, care coordination, and discharge planning. The program emphasizes continuity of care, coordination with community providers, and adherence to state and federal healthcare regulations. Facilities must meet licensing and certification requirements and demonstrate the capacity to treat co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions. The County intends to award multiple contracts to qualified applicants capable of delivering high-quality inpatient care and meeting strict clinical, operational, and reporting standards.
