Description

Research has shown that low-income individuals disproportionately experience behavioral health conditions and may have difficulty accessing care. Expansions of Medicaid under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) raise questions about statesäó» capacity to manage the increased demand for treatment. Additional questions arise about treatment options for low-income adults in non-expansion states. This report examines (1) how many low-income, uninsured adults may have a behavioral health condition; (2) options for low-income, uninsured adults to receive behavioral health treatment in selected non-expansion states; and (3) how selected Medicaid expansion states provide behavioral health coverage for newly eligible enrollees, and how enrollment in coverage affects treatment availability. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
