New York State is moving Medicaid behavioral health services from a fee-for-service system into Managed Care. OMH Medicaid Behavioral Health Measures were developed to help monitor the transition of mental health services from a fee-for-service to behavioral managed care. The MH Engagement in Care dataset displays percentages of Medicaid discharges for members 6-64 years of age who were hospitalized in an inpatient setting with a primary diagnosis of mental illness that were followed by two or more outpatient visits, intensive outpatient encounters or partial hospitalizations for mental health treatment within 30 days of discharge.

The following datasets are based on the adult (age 21 and over) beneficiary population and consist of aggregate MHS data derived from Medi-Cal claims, encounter, and eligibility systems. These datasets were developed in accordance with California Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) § 14707.5 (added as part of Assembly Bill 470 on 10/7/17). Please contact BHData@dhcs.ca.gov for any questions or to request previous years’ versions of these datasets. Note: The Performance Dashboard AB 470 Report Application Excel tool development has been discontinued. Please see the Behavioral Health reporting data hub at https://behavioralhealth-data.dhcs.ca.gov/ for access to dashboards utilizing these datasets and other behavioral health data.

This amendment relates to statistics in the monthly CSV data file; the specific measures effected are listed in the “Corrected Measures” CSV. All listed measures have now been corrected.

The National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS) is an annual survey designed to collect statistical information on the numbers and characteristics of all known mental health treatment facilities within the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. In every other year, beginning in 2014, the survey also collects statistical information on the numbers and demographic characteristics of persons served in these treatment facilities as of a specified survey reference date. The N-MHSS is the only source of national and State-level data on the mental health service delivery system reported by both publicly-operated and privately-operated specialty mental health treatment facilities, including: public psychiatric hospitals; private psychiatric hospitals, non-federal general hospitals with separate psychiatric units; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers; residential treatment centers for children; residential treatment centers for adults; outpatient or day treatment or partial hospitalization mental health facilities; and multi-setting (non-hospital) mental health facilities. The N-MHSS complements the information collected through SAMHSA's survey of substance abuse treatment facilities, the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS). Treatment facility Information from the N-MHSS is used to populate the mental health component of SAMHSA's online Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator.

The U.S. Census Bureau, in collaboration with five federal agencies, launched the Household Pulse Survey to produce data on the social and economic impacts of Covid-19 on American households. The Household Pulse Survey was designed to gauge the impact of the pandemic on employment status, consumer spending, food security, housing, education disruptions, and dimensions of physical and mental wellness. The survey was designed to meet the goal of accurate and timely weekly estimates. It was conducted by an internet questionnaire, with invitations to participate sent by email and text message. The sample frame is the Census Bureau Master Address File Data. Housing units linked to one or more email addresses or cell phone numbers were randomly selected to participate, and one respondent from each housing unit was selected to respond for him or herself. Estimates are weighted to adjust for nonresponse and to match Census Bureau estimates of the population by age, gender, race and ethnicity, and educational attainment. All estimates shown meet the NCHS Data Presentation Standards for Proportions.

In the United States around 22 percent of college or university students reported that in the past year, they could not use mental health services that they otherwise would have received due to financial reasons and 24 percent of students reported that they did not have enough time for such services.

The measure shows the percentage of adults receiving secondary mental health services living independently at the time of their most recent assessment, formal review or other multidisciplinary care planning meeting. Adults 'in contact with secondary mental health services' is defined as those aged 18 to 69 who are receiving secondary mental health services and who are on the Care Programme Approach (CPA). 'Living independently, with or without support' refers to accommodation arrangements where the occupier has security of tenure or appropriate stability of residence in their usual accommodation in the medium-to-long-term, or is part of a household whose head holds such security of tenure/residence. These accommodation arrangements are recorded as settled accommodation in the Mental Health Minimum Data Set. The calculation of the measure was changed in 2013-14. Previously, outcome scores were calculated from annual totals from the MHMDS, whereas now the outcome is calculated each month and the ASCOF measure for the year is derived as an average of these monthly scores. In 2017-18 The Mental Health Services Dataset (MHSDS) methodology has also been updated so that only whole numbers are published. Only covers people receiving partly or wholly supported care from their Local Authority and not wholly private, self-funded care. Data Source: Mental Health Minimum Data Set'. Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

It has been predicted that by the year 2020 total U.S. expenditure on mental health services will reach some 238 billion dollars. Mental health remains a relevant and difficult issue in the United States. Common mental disorders in the U.S. include anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and dementia. As of 2017, around 15 percent of males and 22 percent of females reported some mental illness in the past year.

Depression

Depression is one of the most common and well-known mental disorders. Depression is a severe mood disorder marked by extended and persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, irritability, worthlessness, hopelessness and a loss of interest in hobbies and activities. It is estimated that around 8 percent of adults in the U.S. suffer from depression. Depression is more common among women than men, with around 9.3 percent of women suffering from depression, compared to 5.4 percent of men.

Treatment

Mental health disorders are usually treated through therapy, medication, or a combination of both, depending on the disorder and severity. Access to quality and inexpensive mental health treatment is essential, but often lacking. As of 2017, the United States had around 11,582 mental health treatment facilities. However, it has been found that around 42 percent of adults with an unmet need for mental health care stated they did not receive mental health services in the past year because they could not afford the cost.
