title: Child and adolescent psychiatry. A state administrator's view.
abstract: In the course of the nation's evolution toward managed-care service delivery and financing models, state administration of Medicaid and other public-sector health care services has become increasingly complex. This article reviews and comments on key policy issues that state administrators face in the organization and financing of Medicaid-managed behavioral health care services. The author offers recommendations for states that are considering additional reforms.
