Which of the following most accurately summarizes the effect of managed care on the provision of mental health care?
A) Managed care provides cost-effective care in an equitable fashion. Access to specialized mental health care is not influenced by socioeconomic status. Therefore, everyone's mental health needs are effectively addressed in both institutional and community settings.
B) Managed care cuts costs while enhancing the quality of mental health care provided to all citizens. Both rural and urban populations have equal access to specialized mental health care regardless of the costs entailed.
C) There is a resurgence of institutionalized mental health care because managed care has determined it is the most cost-effective way of providing care. Community mental health care facilities are slowly closing in both rural and urban areas.
D) Managed care theoretically provides access to specialized mental health care; however, financial barriers prevent equitable access. Due to the emphasis on cutting institutional costs, monetary and staffing resources are shifting from traditional health care institutions to community settings.
