ANNOTATION: The impact of Medicaid enrollment on mental health service access and use by mentally ill offenders reentering the community is investigated. Sections contained in this article are: abstract; introduction; methods; results according to detention-level demographic and diagnosis level (by Medicaid status) of released offenders with mental illness, probability of service use, time to first use, number of service days, and rate of service use; discussion; and conclusions. Mentally ill offenders with Medicaid benefits tend to use mental health services more than those without Medicaid benefits.
