Managing Severe Mental Illness in Medicaid Populations
Severe mental illness (SMI) within Medicaid populations has a significant impact on clinical and financial outcomes. Experiencing 40% SMI prevalence within chronically ill Medicaid populations, participants with SMI and co-morbid conditions struggle through fragmented care, ultimately seek emergency and in-patient services, and drive as much as 60% of total program costs.
A leader in complex care coordination for Medicaid populations, APS Healthcare has demonstrated expertise in identifying high-risk, high-cost SMI participants – improving outcomes, reducing cost and coordinating access to evidence-based care.
