Abstract:
A history of government-funded health and behavioral health services has resulted in separate and parallel systems of care for Medicaid beneficiaries. Accountability for coordination of medical and behavioral services has been poorly delineated, with adverse consequences for the medically indigent population. The author defines current opportunities and approaches for service coordination within the Medicaid arena.
