# Inpatient behavioral health services for Medi-Cal members

Orange County seeks providers for acute inpatient psychiatric treatment for Medi-Cal-eligible youth, adults and older adults with serious mental-health conditions, co-occurring medical or substance-use disorders, or severe substance-use disorders. The County intends to establish two master-contract arrangements, subject to state licensure: one for acute free-standing psychiatric hospitals and one for Medi-Cal mental-health managed-care inpatient services provided by general acute-care hospitals. The official procurement portal blocked retrieval with HTTP 403, so detailed eligibility, application materials, evaluation terms and any specific deadline could not be verified from the live notice. The feed’s deadline is normalized UTC and its original clock/time zone was unavailable.
