Many children in Medicaid with behavioral health needs are served by multiple public programs, putting them at risk for receiving fragmented or inappropriate care, resulting in poor health outcomes at high costs. The below resources are part of CHCS’ ongoing Faces of Medicaid data analysis series, which is designed to uncover patterns of behavioral health care use and expense for children in Medicaid and to help states and other stakeholders uncover opportunities to improve outcomes for these children and youth.
