儿童健康保险方案在资助低收入儿童的行为健康服务方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究探讨了行为健康福利的设计和管理，在不同的CHIP计划前夕，联邦要求的行为健康平价。即使在平价实施之前，许多州的CHIP计划也没有对行为健康福利实施服务限制或成本分摊。然而，很大一部分州实施了限制或费用分摊，这可能会阻碍获得护理。大多数州使用管理式医疗来管理行为健康福利。重要的是要监测各州如何调整其方案以符合平等。
The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plays a vital role in financing behavioral health services for low-income children. This study examines behavioral health benefit design and management in separate CHIP programs on the eve of federal requirements for behavioral health parity. Even before parity implementation, many state CHIP programs did not impose service limits or cost sharing for behavioral health benefits. However, a substantial share of states imposed limits or cost sharing that might hinder access to care. The majority of states use managed care to administer behavioral health benefits. It is important to monitor how states adapt their programs to comply with parity.
