January 2009
 2008 Independent Review Office of the Monitor for
Arnold v. Arizona
Department of Human Services
The auditors examined service elements and processes related to the
delivery of mental health treatment and support services for people with
serious mental illness in Maricopa County, Arizona. The audit is one of
the exit requirements of the Arnold v. Sarn class action lawsuit. The
Arnold class includes all individuals with serious mental illness
receiving treatment in Maricopa County; a priority class subgroup
includes individuals with mental illness who had been treated at the
state hospital, under supervisory care, or incarcerated.
This review is
the first that measures Magellan of Arizona's performance. Magellan
became the Maricopa County Regional Behavioral Health Authority in
September 2007. Previously services had been provided by ValueOptions.
The auditors found that Magellan's compliance with the Arnold v. Sarn
agreement was worse than ValueOptions.
