History of SB19-195

SLIDE 6

Youth who are high intensity utilizers of mental health services are involved in multiple systems and have complex needs. Analysis of CO data showed:

  • Almost half of these youth had involvement in the child welfare system
  • 1 in 5 had involvement with the juvenile justice system
  • 1 in 5 received substance use services
  • 3% received services from the Developmental/Intellectual Disabilities

Division

  • Over 60% were involved in at least 2 systems, with 6% involved in 4

different service systems Multi-system involvement leads to disjointed care, which is difficult to navigate, stressful, and inefficient.

Investments in Children and Youth

  • Cost per Health First Colorado member for high utilizing youth

was more that 5 times greater for the top spending 10% of youth than the remaining 90%

  • This top 10% of clients accounts for 40% of Medicaid spending

within the group

  • Child welfare spending increases incrementally for each

additional system (up to three systems) in which a youth is involved
