ANNOTATION: Individuals involved in acquiring Medicaid benefits for mentally ill ex-offenders returning to the community will find the lessons learned from this study helpful. The development and implementation of “a model program to ensure that eligible individuals with mental illness were enrolled in Medicaid at discharge from state institutions” was evaluated (p.1). Five sections follow an executive summary: introduction; barriers to ensuring Medicaid eligibility for adults leaving state institutions; increasing Medicaid coverage on release for correctional facilities, results of a model program in Oklahoma; Medicaid eligibility of clients in an institution for mental diseases, a case study from Oklahoma; and synthesis of study findings—lessons learned about program implementation, quantitative results, and potential for implementing similar programs.
