Geographical Variations In Emergency Department Visits For Mental Health Conditions For Medicaid Beneficiaries | Health Affairs JournalDespite Medicaid’s importance as a payer and source of coverage for mental health care, relatively little is known about how prevalence, access, and quality might vary among Medicaid beneficiaries. This study used national Medicaid data from 2018 to assess regional variations in emergency department (ED) visits for mental health conditions, a measure that may reflect unmet needs for behavioral health care. We found substantial variations, with rates in the region with the highest visit rates eight times higher than those in the region with the lowest rates. Many regions with high rates of ED visits for mental health conditions also had high rates of outpatient mental health use. Regional patterns differed substantially, with some regions exhibiting high rates of ED visits related to anxiety but low rates for schizophrenia and vice versa. The presence of large variations in ED visits for mental health conditions, with substantial differences in the composition across regions, suggests a need for context-specific solutions, including assessments of the ways in which mental health benefits are structured at the state Medicaid agency level and of differences in provider accessibility and an understanding of the types of mental illness underlying high rates of use.
