This study explores the differential effect of a managed behavioral health Carve-Out (CO) on outpatient treatment quality for persons with schizophrenia (SCHZ) alone and co-occurring substance use disorders (SUD) (SCHZ+SUD). We used claims data from a state Medicaid program and employed a retrospective, quasi-experimental design with logit and difference in difference formula regression models. The results show the CO was associated with greater changes in treatment quality for the SCHZ population, compared to the SCHZ+SUD population. Most pronounced across both populations were decrements in receiving the psychosocial treatments for enrollees in the CO arrangement.
本研究探讨了管理式行为健康专项分离(CO)对单纯患有精神分裂症(SCHZ)以及同时患有物质使用障碍(SUD)(SCHZ+SUD)患者门诊治疗质量的差异影响。我们使用了一个州医疗补助计划的理赔数据,并采用了带有逻辑回归和双重差分公式回归模型的回顾性准实验设计。结果显示,与SCHZ+SUD人群相比,CO与SCHZ人群治疗质量的更大变化相关。在这两个人群中最明显的是,参与CO安排的参保者接受心理社会治疗的情况有所减少。
