(KCPW News) Minnesota-based OptumHealth will take over the management of Salt Lake County’s publicly funded mental health services beginning July 1st. The for-profit company will contract with service providers, including the non-profit Valley Mental Health, which is the county’s current manager, to oversee the Medicaid program, county-funded services for the uninsured and federal mental health block grants. As KCPW’s Whittney Evans reports, officials say it should be a near-seamless transition.
