Abstract

Florida Agency For Health Care Administration (AHCA) Reports

During the last decade, the Medicaid program has become an increasingly important element of the mental health treatment system in Florida. Consistent with this growth, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA-Florida's Medicaid agency) has introduced a number of initiatives that are designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Medicaid program. In order to implement these programs and to determine the degree to which they are effective in accomplishing their goals, the Agency contracts with FMHI to meet the evaluation needs of Medicaid related to the provision of mental health and substance abuse services.

Below are reports focused on the welfare of Florida's children and/or authored by CFS faculty and research assistants.
