Significant changes lie ahead for the financing and accountability of community behavioral healthcare. Whether through insurance exchanges, co-ops, or expansion of Medicaid managed care, Healthcare reform efforts appear likely to drastically shift financing of uninsured populations to public-private partnerships that build upon commercial insurance products. The National Council estimates that market expansions could increase the number of individuals expecting services from America’s public mental health system by an astounding 50 percent. In addition, with implementation of the new Parity law occurring in parallel with healthcare reform activities, we can expect the Administration and Congress to be utilizing all opportunities to introduce greater accountability into the healthcare system, while promoting initiatives that increase efficiency and reduce variations in care.
