A Medicaid mental health carveout program: the Massachusetts experience.
Manag Care Q. 1996 Summer; 4(3):85-92.MC

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.
