US EditionHow Kansas's Medicaid Program Measures Up On Mental Health
- In 2023, Medicaid funded more mental health care than any other program, providing essential support to millions of adults across the country.
- This role arises amid a sustained mental health crisis where adult rates of reported mental illness rose from 17.9% in 2015 to 22.8% in 2023.
- State administration of Medicaid causes notable variation in behavioral health service availability and quality, influenced by financial pressures and potential budget cuts.
- In 2023, 34.6% of Medicaid enrollees experienced mental illness compared to 23.9% with private insurance, with nearly 10% reporting serious conditions like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
- Behavioral Health Performance Index rankings show Northeast and Appalachia states leading in Medicaid mental health care, while large states like California and Texas rank near the bottom.
