The report describes the context in which mental health managed care is carried out in Texas, in particular, Austin, Fort Worth, and Lubbock. It also presents case studies of the implementation process in five other states in which public mental health services and Medicaid managed care have been implemented. Finally the report reviews related state legislation that was passed in 1997 and discusses some alternatives for the future.
