Abstract:
Private sector contracts with Medicaid mental health programs have the potential to help states offer quality improvements and cost savings for chronically mentally ill populations. A Massachusetts experience illustrates how state agencies, community providers, and a private, mental health management firm collaborated to reduce rising Medicaid mental health and substance abuse costs and improve access and quality of care for Medicaid recipients.
