*"Across multiple health plan population types, the chronically ill with a behavioral health co-morbidity account for only a small percentage of the population but a disproportionately large percentage of costs. In a typical commercial plan, 5-10% of the population account for 20-30% of costs. In Medicare the prevalence is higher with 12-19% of the population and the cost is 29-35%. It is most extreme in Medicaid populations with 5-15% of the population accounting for 25-50% of costs.” Solucia Consulting, 2008.
