Improving the Transparency and Accountability of Behavioral Health Service Delivery in the STAR and STAR+Plus Medicaid Managed Care Programs
On September 15, 2010, the Institute for Child Health Policy for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) released a report with a recommendation to
improve managed behavioral health services. HHSC is required to develop
strategies to improve the transparency and accountability of behavioral health
service delivery in the Medicaid managed care organizations. The report recommended that Texas Medicaid
increase the number of
at-risk performance indicators specific to behavioral health, or apply a
separate one-percent at-risk capitation rate for behavioral health performance.
HHSC is also considering incentives for provider organization performance in
behavioral health services based on episodes of care.
