“…The need to curb the insatiable appetite for resources makes it no longer possible to administer medical care as if it were independent of the economic well being of the community (Starr, 1982). The provider, the patient, and the payer must consider not only the effectiveness but now the cost-effectiveness of health care procedures and the moral value system that guides policy decision (Sharfstein, Krizay & Muszynsky, 1988).…”

“…Adjusting the rates for inflation leads to debate over which inflation index to use and how often to adjust rates to reflect changes in the index chosen. Sharfstein, Krizay, and Muszynski (1988) note how far behind psychiatry is in the notion of standard pricing in health care services. They comment that without product pricing, arbitrary limits to reimbursement for psychiatric services will be imposed by the payers in attempts to manage costs.…”

Many if not most scenarios for reform of the U.S. health care system imply that health maintenance organizations (HMOs) will continue their rapid growth. Some advocates argue that a comprehensive health care system should offer services to the severely mentally ill on the same basis as the physically ill. Others note that severe mental illness has traditionally been addressed by a separate, social service system which, for all its deficiencies, has at least provided some level of care. Still others contend that allowing severely mentally ill persons "barrier free" access to health care would be prohibitively expensive. Inspired by this debate the author reviews our knowledge about HMOs and persons with severe mental illness. It is argued that workers in community mental health programs need to understand HMOs and their potential contribution to providing services for persons with severe mental illness.
