Managed care has produced dramatic changes in the treatment of mental health and substance abuse problems, known as behavioral health. Managing Managed Care offers an urgently needed assessment of managed care for behavioral health and a framework for purchasing, delivering, and ensuring the quality of behavioral health care. It presents the first objective analysis of the powerful multimillion-dollar accreditation industry and the key accrediting organizations. Managing Managed Care draws evidence-based conclusions about the effectiveness of behavioral health treatments and makes recommendations that address consumer protections, quality improvements, structure and financing, roles of public and private participants, inclusion of special populations, and ethical issues. The volume discusses trends in managed behavioral health care, highlighting the emerging role of the purchaser. The committee explores problems of overlap and fragmentation in the delivery of behavioral health care and discusses the issue of access, a special concern when private systems are restricted and public systems overburdened. Highly applicable to the larger health care system, this volume will be of particular interest to all stakeholders in behavioral healthâ€"federal and state policymakers, public and private purchasers, health care providers and administrators, consumers and consumer advocates, accrediting organizations, and health services researchers.

Medicaid, the public health insurance program for low-income people, covered nearly 60 million Americans, or about 1 in 5, for at least some time during FY 2008. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), beginning in 2014, Medicaid will expand to cover nearly all Americans with income below 133% of the federal poverty level, reaching an estimated 16 million uninsured people, mostly adults, by 2019. Since the early 1980s, states have relied increasingly on managed care arrangements to serve their Medicaid beneficiaries. Two-thirds of Medicaid enrollees now receive most or all of their benefits in managed care, and many states are expanding their use of managed care to additional geographic areas and Medicaid populations. Given Medicaid's large and growing coverage role and the increasing dominance of managed care in the program, this current profile of Medicaid managed care (MMC) offers a key policy resource.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.
