Detailed Analysis of Champus per Capita Mental Health Expenditures for Beneficiaries Less Than Eighteen, Health Services Command Catchment Areas Fiscal Years 1988-1993
Abstract
This report presents results of a longitudinal examination (FY 1988- 1993) of CHAMPUS mental health per capita expenditures, for eligible beneficiaries less than 18 years, in all Health Services Command (HSC) catchment areas. The report updates and expands two earlier analyses- CR91-003 (Optenberg, S.A., April 1991, DTIC: AD A236626) and RP92-006 (Optenberg, S.A. & Stein, C.R., April 1992, DTIC: AD A248785)--comparing a psychiatric demonstration project in the Fort Bragg catchment area to all other HSC catchment areas. Prior to the demonstration project, Fort Bragg ranked only 27 out of 37 catchment areas in terms of highest average per capita expenditures; by the end of the study period (June 1993), it ranked second out of 35. When comparing estimated trends in per capita monthly expenditures, Fort Bragg had the greatest pre- to post- demonstration period growth; but by January-June, 1993, the end of the analysis period, the per capita rate had stabilized.
