Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a time of major transition, however, health care services in the United States today are not designed to help young people develop healthy routines, behaviors, and relationships that they can carry into their adult lives. While most adolescents at this stage of life are thriving, many of them have difficulty gaining access to necessary services; other engage in risky behaviors that can jeopardize their health during these formative years and also contribute to poor health outcomes in adulthood. Missed opportunities for disease prevention and health promotion are two major problematic features of our nation's health services system for adolescents. Recognizing that health care providers play an important role in fostering healthy behaviors among adolescents, Adolescent Health Services examines the health status of adolescents and reviews the separate and uncoordinated programs and services delivered in multiple public and private health care settings. The book provides guidance to administrators in public and private health care agencies, health care workers, guidance counselors, parents, school administrators, and policy makers on investing in, strengthening, and improving an integrated health system for adolescents.
Download or read book Key Benefits Under Medicaid and the State Children s Health Insurance Program SCHIP for Children With Mental Health and Substance Abuse Problems written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 18% of all U.S. adolescents received mental health treatment in 2000. Almost $7 billion was spent for such services for teens in 1998. While many youth have used alcohol or other illicit drugs, less than 2% received treatment for substance use in 2000. In 1997, costs for such care for children under 18 totaled $604 million. In this report, the availability of selected mental health and substance abuse services under Medicaid and SCHIP for low and moderate income children is explored. Under SCHIP, states may provide coverage by expanding Medicaid or creating a separate SCHIP program or both. Data from two CRS-sponsored surveys, documenting general limits placed on such services as of June, 2000, are presented. For Medicaid, including Medicaid expansions under SCHIP, survey results were reported for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. For separate SCHIP programs, survey results were reported for all 41 programs operating in 33 states. Nearly all Medicaid and SCHIP programs covered inpatient and outpatient mental health services for children, and most also covered inpatient detoxification and outpatient substance abuse treatment. Such benefits were more frequently unlimited under Medicaid than under SCHIP. While the majority of Medicaid programs covered residential treatment centers, most SCHIP programs did not. In many cases, expressing benefit limits as a simple quantity (e.g., days of care, admissions per year, visits/hours per year) did not address the full scope of restrictions on coverage. Other means of limiting benefits were also reported (e.g., use of prior authorization, thresholds specific to condition/diagnosis, and treatment plan requirements). Under SCHIP, but not Medicaid, a single quantity limit was often applied to two or more related benefits combined rather than separately for each benefit category. Coverage policies and benefit limits for children under Medicaid are seldom absolute in part because of special provisions in the law requiring that children receive all medically necessary services authorized in federal statute. This guarantee does not exist in SCHIP. Instead, SCHIP children have access to similar types of benefit packages available in the private sector. Facing declining revenues and increased expenses, some states are implementing a number of Medicaid cost containment strategies focused on reductions in provider payments, and reductions in and/or elimination of optional services and populations, mostly affecting adults. Under SCHIP, some states are also capping enrollment and increasing beneficiary cost-sharing. While these proposed strategies appear to leave mental health and substance abuse benefits for children largely intact, they could effectively limit access to care. Finally, this report also describes mental health parity and its application to Medicaid and SCHIP under current federal law, and related, pending legislation in the 108th Congress.
Download or read book America s Children written by Institute of Medicine and National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-10-27 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's Children is a comprehensive, easy-to-read analysis of the relationship between health insurance and access to care. The book addresses three broad questions: How is children's health care currently financed? Does insurance equal access to care? How should the nation address the health needs of this vulnerable population? America's Children explores the changing role of Medicaid under managed care; state-initiated and private sector children's insurance programs; specific effects of insurance status on the care children receive; and the impact of chronic medical conditions and special health care needs. It also examines the status of "safety net" health providers, including community health centers, children's hospitals, school-based health centers, and others and reviews the changing patterns of coverage and tax policy options to increase coverage of private-sector, employer-based health insurance. In response to growing public concerns about uninsured children, last year Congress voted to provide $24 billion over five years for new state insurance initiatives. This volume will serve as a primer for concerned federal policymakers and regulators, state agency officials, health plan decisionmakers, health care providers, children's health advocates, and researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.

This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary audience for this TIP is administrators of outpatient substance abuse treatment programs. A few words about this audience are in order. Whereas TIP 8 addressed intensive outpatient treatment, the current TIP drops the word "intensive" from its title because the consensus panel hopes that this TIP will find an audience beyond administrators of IOT programs. Most of the concepts and guidelines included in this TIP apply to the administration of all substance abuse outpatient treatment (OT) programs. On those rare occasions when information applies only to IOT programs, the authors have been sure to make this clear. Although the term "administrator" is used most often to describe the audience for this book, the terms "executive" and "director" appear as well and are used interchangeably with administrator. These overlapping terms emphasize the varied roles and responsibilities that administrators assume.
