Magellan Public Sector Solutions
Empowering lives for stronger communities
For over 30 years, Magellan Healthcare has been a trusted leader in publicly funded behavioral healthcare—delivering innovative solutions that empower individuals and families to overcome challenges and live happier, healthier lives.
Our clinical care models focus on the whole-person, putting members at the center of care while prioritizing clinical excellence and innovative approaches. By addressing the spectrum of behavioral health needs with evidence-based solutions that deliver measurable outcomes, we create pathways for meaningful change, brighter futures and stronger communities.
Partnering with customers to deliver impactful, cost-effective solutions
We deliver tailored, sustainable behavioral health solutions that meet the specific needs of individuals and communities. By combining local expertise with data-driven insights, we ensure our services are relevant, timely and impactful. Leveraging braided Medicaid funding alongside diverse financial sources, we expand access to care and ensure sustainability at every level.
We build sustainable community-based services by supporting local providers in evidence-informed and operational best practices. Through strong collaborations with providers, along with our customers, and community organizations we create seamless coordinated systems of care that optimize resources, reduce duplication, and improve outcomes.
Whether expanding behavioral health services, enhancing children’s programs, strengthening peer and family support programs, or ensuring effective crisis system administration and oversight, we work hand-in-hand with these partners to restore hope, support recovery and make an enduring positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
“Magellan has done more in the first three months than the other plan did in 10 years.”
