 Governors Mental Health Initiative: Improving Health Care for Children &
Adults With Mental Illness
As of January 1, 2008, the State of Minnesota Department of Public Health
(DPH) began implementing mental health reform legislation that includes a
new special needs plan for Medicare/Medicaid-eligible individuals who are
disabled due to serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI).
The PINs will be partnerships between health plans and community human
service departments. The partnerships will create a social model health
maintenance organization (HMO) that will be at risk for all health,
pharmaceutical, mental health, and social services offered. The PINs will
combine funding from many sources using a braided funding methodology.
