A new report released today by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Mental Health Services provides a state-by-state analysis of how Medicaid agencies are exercising their responsibilities for mental health services. Administration of Mental Health Services by Medicaid Agencies combines the results of a series of hour-long telephone interviews conducted in 2005-2006 with State Medicaid directors in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The report explores how state Medicaid agencies are addressing the organization, funding, policy, management and data issues that arise from increased responsibility for mental health services.
