Project Description:

To best meet the increasing need for behavioral health services by adults with a severe mental illness and children who have a severe emotional disturbance, the NH Bureau of Behavioral Health (BBH) will seek to replace the existing Medicaid fee for service system with a prepaid health system. With funding from the Endowment for Health, the UNH Institute on Disability is providing the project coordination through September 30, 2010. Establishing a prepaid health system will be accomplished with what is known as a 1915(b) Medicaid Waiver. 1915(b) Waivers allow states to develop managed care plans as a vehicle for providing services to Medicaid recipients.
