  • Emergency Behavioral Health Services
    ALERT #24 ___________________ October 5, 2007 EMERGENCY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES PROGRAMS AND HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS FOR MBHP MEMBERS AND UNINSURED CONSUMERS The following information should be communicated immediately to other appropriate staff in your organization. The Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP) is the company that manages behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse) services for MassHealth’s Primary Care Clinician (PCC) Plan Members*. Additionally, MBHP is contracted with the Department of Mental Health to manage most of the Emergency Services Programs (ESPs) across the Commonwealth. In that role, MBHP is issuing this Alert to hospital Emergency Departments (EDs), MBHP network providers, and other interested stakeholders in order to provide clarification and guidance relative to the management of behavioral health emergencies in the ED setting. More specifically, this Alert delineates the roles and responsibilities of the Emergency Services Programs (ESPs) and describes an individual’s progression through this system, with a goal of expediting his or her movement through the hospital ED and into acute behavioral health services, as medically necessary. ESPs function as a “safety net” for all citizens of the Commonwealth regardless of age, payer, or ability to pay. It is important to note that the policies and procedures in this Alert applies to those populations for whom the ESPs are contracted with MBHP to serve, which includes MBHP members, MassHealth (non-MCO enrolled) Members, uninsured consumers, and DMH consumers. However, it is also important to note that MassHealth also requires the four Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) contracted with MassHealth to utilize the ESP system for emergency behavioral health services for MassHealth MCO enrolled Members.

  • Worcester's Transportation Projects: an Update
    AN INDEPENDENT VOICE FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT WORCESTER'S TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS: AN UPDATE Report No. 01-1 January 30, 2001 500 Salisbury Street • Worcester, Massachusetts • 01609-1296 •Telephone: 508/799-7169 Facsimile: 508/799-4720 • www.wrrb.org 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY After reviewing the status of Worcester’s major transportation projects, the Research Bureau makes the following observations: • The Route 146 Connector between the new MassPike Interchange in Millbury and I-290 in Worcester begun in 1995, will not be completed until late 2005 or early 2006. • Worcester Regional Airport currently has nine flights per day to three destinations. By April 2001, there will be eleven daily flights to four destinations. That is still fewer than when the airport was at the peak of its enplanements in 1988 and there were fifteen daily flights to five destinations. • Governor Cellucci recently announced that commuter rail service between Worcester and Boston will be increased from seven to ten trains a day by May, 2001. The final environmental impact report of 1997 promised the implementation of the new schedule when the Grafton Station opened which occurred almost a year ago. It should also be noted that the expanded service is still geared largely toward inbound commuters and does not accommodate “reverse” commuters. These observations indicate the need for Worcester area community leaders, both public officials and business leaders, to closely monitor these projects to ensure their successful completion in an expeditious manner. I. Introduction There are currently three major transportation projects being developed and expanded in the City of Worcester that could have a major impact on the City’s ability to attract new development, expand existing businesses, and improve the quality of life for residents of the region.
