The survey is designed to explore two
primary research questions. 1)How much is the nation spending on MH
and SA treatment in specialty care facilities? and 2)What are the
expenses per client for treatment in MH and SA specialty care
facilities? The survey has four modules: (1) the types of services
provided by a facility (for example, whether the facility provides
inpatient and/or outpatient care), (2) the facility's sources of
revenue (for example, how much of the total net revenue comes from
Medicaid or client private insurance), (3) client counts (such as
number of clients in inpatient services), and (4) facility expenses
(such as total operating expenses).
