Description

Funding is often key to the successful delivery of mental health services. In recent years in this country privately-owned mental health facilities may be fiercely competing with publicly-funded facilities for the generally limited funding available to support the services they provide. These battles often play out in the political arena. On occasion assertions that "foul play" occurred may result in litigation. One such claim resolved by the Tenth Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals arose out of a funding dispute in Oklahoma. The court characterized the case as arising "from a bare-knuckled political battle over state funding for outpatient behavioral and mental health services in Oklahoma between 1998 and 2002." The plaintiffs operated privately-owned clinics, predominantly in rural areas of Oklahoma, providing services to adults and children with mental and behavioral disorders. The plaintiffs relied almost exclusively on Medicaid funding to cover the costs of providing these services. In addition to these private clinics, however, many publicly funded facilities--state-affiliated community mental health centers (CMHCs)--also offered such services. Medicaid funding similarly flowed to the CMHCs, although they were typically paid more than private providers for the same services. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA), a state agency, was charged with administering these Medicaid funds.
