Ambulatory mental health services utilization in three provider plans.

This article examines the use of mental health services in three insurance plans: Blue Cross (BC), a health maintenance organization (HMO), and an independent practice association (IPA) in which the primary care physician was to manage all care for an individual. Approximately 7.3% of the enrollees in all three plans used some mental health care in the 18-month study period. The percent of enrollees with mental health utilization was lower in BC than in the other two plans, but the total quantity of mental health care use per enrollee and per user was much higher in BC than in the HMO and the IPA. Use was highest in the 19-44-year-old age group, and there were no significant differences between men and women in use of mental health services. There were substantial differences by race in all three plans: white persons were more likely to use any mental health care and had more visits than nonwhite persons after seeking mental health use. A similar study was conducted in the early 1970s on a poverty-level population enrolled in BC and the HMO. The findings of this study are similar, except that in the low-income study mental health care use was lower, and males used less mental health care than females. These differences might be attributable to the difference in enrollees' socioeconomic status in the two studies or to the increasing acceptability of mental health care utilization, particularly for males.[1]
