  • Title: Assessment of the Massachusetts Medicaid managed Behavioral Health Program: year three.
    Author: Beinecke RH, Shepard DS, Goodman M, Rivera M.
    Journal: Adm Policy Ment Health; 1997 Jan; 24(3):205-20. PubMed ID: 9097877.
    Abstract:
    This evaluation of the third year of the Massachusetts Medicaid managed Mental Health/Substance Abuse Program showed that overall utilization increased slightly and expenditures were nearly the same in FY1994 compared to FY1993; however, they were lower for disabled members. Providers believed that access to care, utilization, and quality of care were the same or better than a year earlier and that the clinical review process was improved. Client severity was higher. Aftercare planning improved but gaps in services persisted. Integration of care improved. Administrative and management problems continued. Lessons for similar, more recent initiatives are discussed.
