Integrated care models and behavioral health care utilization: quasi-experimental evidence from Medicaid health homes.
This study provided the first population-level evidence on the effects of Medicaid health homes (HH) on behavioral health care service use. As of 2016, 16 states had adopted an HH for enrollees with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorder. Using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the authors found that HH adoption increased service use among enrollees and enrollee self-reported health improved post-HH.

Antipsychotic use among youth in foster care enrolled in a specialized managed care organization intervention.
This study examined a multimodal antipsychotic intervention implemented by a specialized Medicaid managed care organization (MMCO) for youths in foster care with routine mental health screening, health passports, elective psychiatric consultation line, and retrospective drug utilization reviews to determine whether this multimodal intervention significantly reduced antipsychotic dispensing for youths with conditions without US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved indications. Findings showed that MMCO implementation significantly reduced antipsychotic medications without FDA-indicated conditions prescribed to youths, while not significantly affecting antipsychotic medications prescribed to youths with FDA-indicated conditions.
