Download or read book Managing Medicaid Managed Care written by James W. Fossett and published by Nelson a Rockefeller Inst. This book was released on 2004-05-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last dozen years, states have dramatically increased the enrollment of Medicaid patients in managed care programs. As initially envisioned, managed care had broad political appeal to both conservatives because of its potential to reduce the growth in escalating Medicaid expenditures, and to liberals because of its promise to improve the quality of care and increase the accountability of the health care system for the care it provides to Iow income families and children. Based on intensive field research in ten states, this book examines state successes and failures in "managing" the complex and demanding, if promising, method of organizing and financing health care for Medicaid patients. It examines state performance in operating managed care programs across a wide spectrum of management issues, ranging from contracting with managed care plans to performance measurement. The contributors also indicate the political and market conditions under which states have been more or less successful in realizing managed care's potential advantages in providing health care for Iow income populations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
