Mathematica has unparalleled understanding of the challenges the delivery system is facing and the innovative value-based service models and financing strategies that states and payers are testing to improve the prevention and treatment of behavioral health conditions.
Our staff have in-depth knowledge of the complex array of intersecting public and private programs and eligibility requirements that create challenges for consumers to get the help they need. Our work involves rigorous rapid-cycle evaluations of major behavioral health initiatives, data collection and technical assistance to support program implementation, and policy analysis to guide decision-making. We are leading efforts to impact the opioid crisis, increase access to care while controlling costs, and support the integration of behavioral health services with other health care and social services.
