Patients complete the HealthArc web-based assessments with their behavioral health clinician. Once in treatment, progress is measured by regularly administered update assessments. These assessments include PHQ 2-9, GAD7, AUDIT, PTSD, and CSSRS and more.
Engage in safe, secure video sessions with patients in individual and group settings. The provider can access their notes and assessment results while engaging with the patient. Text/Audio based interactions provide an experience as seamless as a face-to-face session.
Providers can quickly view summaries of patient caseloads, including current assessment scores compared to intake scores and any triggered critical alerts. The dashboard gives analysis on Behavioral Health Index (BHI) using patient’s responses to ongoing assessments surface the real-time nature and severity of behavioral health issues.
BHI improves access to mental health services, reduces stigma, enhances care coordination, and improves health outcomes. This allows for the provision of both mental and physical health care to the patients at one location.
Common conditions under BHI include depression, anxiety, substance-related disorders, PTSD, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other concerns of behavioral health that can be treated in a primary care setting.
The BHI team typically consists of primary care providers (PCP), behavioral health care managers (some types of licensed social workers or counselors), and psychiatric consultants who advise patients on diagnosis and treatment plans.
Yes. BHI services are reimbursed by Medicare, some Medicaid programs, and most private insurers, and each of them has its own specific billing codes for such services. Covered services usually include care coordination, assessment, follow-up visits, and psychiatric consultation.
For successful implementation, train the staff, adopt a team approach to care, use evidence-based screening tools (e.g., PHQ-9 for depression), and set up the workflow for continued behavioral health assessment and treatment within the clinic.
