Community Mental Health Centers Under Managed Care: Authority or Provider

Community Mental Health Centers Under Managed Care: Authority or Provider

Project directed by Pamela M. Diamond, David C. Warner and Patrick Wong

This research project examines the implementation of Texas House Bill 2377—the authority/provider bill—in the context of Medicaid managed care. The report describes the context in which mental health managed care is carried out in Texas, in particular, Austin, Fort Worth, and Lubbock. It also presents case studies of the implementation process in five other states in which public mental health services and Medicaid managed care have been implemented. Finally the report reviews related state legislation that was passed in 1997 and discusses some alternatives for the future.
