Research has indicated an association between mental health problems and physical illness, including higher physical health benefits utilization among persons with a mental health diagnosis. We hypothesized that mental health claimants will have higher covered health benefits and be more likely to make physical health claims than physical health claimants. The data for the study included all health benefits claims for 1989 and 1990. The results indicated that mental health claimants have higher total covered benefits and higher covered benefits in a number of diagnostic categories. In addition, the findings revealed a greater likelihood to make any health claim as well as a claim for several diagnostic categories among persons with a mental health diagnosis. The study indicates the need for coordination between mental health and physical health benefits cost management.
