DefinitionDefinitionBehavioral health integration (BHI)
is defined as a partnership between primary care providers and mental health/substance abuse providers
This can be a partnership between organizations or a collaboration between providers within one organization
17
Type 1: Minimum Type 1: Minimum CollaborationCollaborationPrimary care providers and
behavioral health providers work in separate facilities, have separate systems, and communicate only sporadically
19
Type 2: Basic Collaboration Type 2: Basic Collaboration at a Distanceat a DistancePrimary care and behavioral health
providers have separate systems at separate sites, but engage in periodic communication about shared patients, generally by telephone, letter or email
Communication is driven largely by specific patient issues
Primary care and behavioral health providers view each other as resources, but do not share responsibility over patients
20
Type 3: Basic Collaboration Type 3: Basic Collaboration On-SiteOn-SiteBehavioral health professionals and
primary care providers have separate systems but share the same facility
Proximity allows for increased communication about shared patients, but each provider remains in his or her own professional culture
This model is primarily a referral-based process with providers working more closely and with improved communications
21
Type 4: Close Collaboration Type 4: Close Collaboration in a Partly Integrated Systemin a Partly Integrated SystemBehavioral health professionals and
primary care providers share the same facility and have some systems in common, such as scheduling appointments or medical records
Physical proximity between providers allows for regular face-to-face communication and even coordinated treatment plans for difficult cases
There is a sense of being part of a larger team, yet the pragmatics are sometimes difficult
22
Type 5: Close Collaboration Type 5: Close Collaboration approaching a Fully approaching a Fully Integrated SystemIntegrated SystemBehavioral health professionals and primary
care providers share the same facility, the same vision, and the same systems to provide unified behavioral and physical health services
The patient experiences the behavioral health treatment as part of his or her regular primary care
Primary care and behavioral health staff interact regularly and typically have an integrated medical record and single treatment plan
All professionals are committed to the idea of a team-based approach and understand each other’s roles and functions
23
Type 6: Close Collaboration Type 6: Close Collaboration in a Fully Integrated Systemin a Fully Integrated SystemThe behavioral health provider and
primary care provider are part of the same team and have overcome the barriers and limits to traditional care and funding structures
Patient care is provided through a team-based approach involving joint assessment and treatment plans, with shared responsibilities for outcomes
Providers and patients view the system as cohesive and holistic

problems◦ 1 of 3 patients have depression as a primary or
secondary diagnosis◦ 1 of 5 patients are currently receiving services
from mental health professionals◦ Communication is poor between primary care
and behavioral health professionals32
Outcomes from Outcomes from Integrating CareIntegrating CareOn average 35% of patients
receive physical healthcare at SUD clinics
Those that do, experience:◦Greater Abstinence◦Returning Twice as Often for
Outpatient Visits◦Lower Mortality Rate

◦ 99409 – Alcohol and/or substance (other than tobacco) abuse structured screening (eg, AUDIT, DAST), and brief intervention (SBI) services; greater than 30 minutes
41
Recommended ActionsRecommended ActionsInclude additional mental health
providers in the CHAMPS system; including licensed social workers and psychologists, recognizing their important role in an integrated health delivery system and providing a waiver of substance abuse certification/credentialing for all incensed behavioral health professionals.
This expanded workforce is necessary to meet the needs of the expanding Medicaid population
42
Recommended ActionsRecommended ActionsEliminate the limit of 20
behavioral health visits per year restriction, recognizing that chronic conditions, both behavioral and physical, require monitoring and consistent care and may not be treated properly within 20 visits.
43
Recommended ActionsRecommended ActionsAllow for reimbursable screening for mental
health and substance abuse conditions in the primary care setting to identify patients getting care on in the primary care setting.
These screens are reimbursable through the codes (also listed above):◦ 96150 – Health Behavior Assessment; 15 minutes (initial assessment
◦ 99408 – Alcohol and/or substance (other than tobacco) abuse structured screening (eg, AUDIT, DAST), and brief intervention (SBI) services; 15 to 30 minutes
◦ 99409 – Alcohol and/or substance (other than tobacco) abuse structured screening (eg, AUDIT, DAST), and brief intervention (SBI) services; greater than 30 minutes
