Using Medicaid Accountable Care Initiatives to Improve Care for People with Serious Behavioral Health Conditions

DMA assisted the National Council for Behavioral Health to revise the paper "Ensuring Access to Behavioral Healthcare through Integrated Managed Care: Options and Requirements. DMA updated the content of the paper to account for the new Medicaid parity law, and the introduction of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs). Also, included was a new chapter that addressed considerations in ensuring access to behavioral healthcare in Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations.  The new report is titled "Using Medicaid Accountable Care Initiatives to Improve Care for People with Serious Behavioral Health Conditions”
