The effects of the transition from Medicaid to Medicare on health care use for adults with mental illness.
The researchers estimated the effect of dual coverage after Medicaid enrollment during the required waiting period among adults with serious mental illness on health care use, overall and related to mental health and substance use disorders. They found that after 12 months of dual coverage, the probability of outpatient care use increased in both states from 4 percent to 9 percent.

Do primary care medical homes facilitate care transitions after psychiatric discharge for patients with multiple chronic conditions?
The purpose of this manuscript is to assess outpatient follow-up rates with primary care and mental health providers following psychiatric discharge by medical home enrollment and medical complexity. Hospitalized persons with multiple chronic conditions including serious mental illness enrolled in a medical home were more likely to receive timely outpatient follow-up with a primary care provider but not with a mental health specialist.
