Multi-year estimation of the use of Florida general revenue funds to pay for Medicaid-billable mental health and substance use services
Publication Date: 6/1/2002
Description:
The purpose of this current study was to explore strategies for determining when MHSA services events were not being submitted by providers as claims to Medicaid and to estimate the extent to which DCF providers of public MHSA services in Florida fail to utilize the Medicaid Program for authorized MHSA services, and instead, provide services under the umbrella of a DCF contract. The results of these analyses provided limited information regarding the untapped potential for Federal match based on unbilled Medicaid claims.
