The document is the Year 3 Final Report of the UTSPH Medicaid SMI Study, focusing on healthcare utilization and costs for adults with severe mental illness (SMI) enrolled in Texas Medicaid. It analyzes data from 2012 to compare service use and costs between SMI and non-SMI populations, revealing that SMI adults have significantly higher hospitalization and emergency room visit rates, primarily due to medical rather than psychiatric reasons. The report highlights the disproportionate share of healthcare costs attributed to the SMI population, suggesting opportunities for cost savings through improved care integration and management strategies targeting high utilizers.
