Utah conducted two systems capacity surveys and reports that indicated a sharp decline in the number of mental health providers employed and contracted by community mental health centers while the number of children served continues to rise. However, Utah also made changes to improve the capacity to address needs, namely clarifying that providers may use the DC 0-3 diagnosis classification system to diagnose young children, crosswalk that diagnosis to a DSM diagnoses and bill Medicaid for treatment services, and modifying the public health agency's contract with Part C providers to require them to return a form completed by Medicaid providers who make a referral to the Part C provider. The form provides information about follow-up services provided. Part C providers are monitored to ensure use of the form.

This section contains resources for "Identifying and Addressing Needs" developed by Utah.
