To gain
a more complete understanding of the effects of managed care on service
delivery for CSHCN, the National Policy Center for Children with Special
Health Care Needs studies eight States with different Medicaid managed
care models and, using qualitative evaluation methods, examined the
extent to which the alternative models supported effective, cross-system
service integration for CSHCN. This report presents the results of this
analysis. Volume 1 is a synthesis of study results and Volume 2 contains
the case studies. (Prepared for MCHB, July 1999)
