Abstract
This article describes the San Francisco Division of Mental Health's evolution toward managed care for its Medicaid eligible population. The reorganization of services reflects a local reform initiative documented in the Division's strategic plan. In addition to responding to federal mandates for serving the seriously mentally ill and the state guidelines for the managed mental health carve-out, the author also discusses the obstacles to implementing managed care as well as the future issues to be addressed.
