Short Term Behavioral Health Visits in Primary Care – September 30, 2019
Agenda
Six Short-Term Behavioral Health Visits in Primary Care…
and how to get reimbursed
Description: When the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) implemented the Accountable Care Collaborative Phase II (ACC Phase II), and its new Regional Accountable Entity (RAE) structure, HCPF increased access to short-term behavioral health (mental health and substance use disorder) services within the primary care setting. Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid Program) members are now able to receive short-term behavioral health services (STBHS) provided by a licensed behavioral health clinician working as part of a member’s Primary Care Medical Provider (PCMP).
The intent of this change is to provide additional access to behavioral health services for short-term episodes of care of low-acuity conditions. This may include grief and adjustment conditions, as well as medical conditions where behavioral interventions can support treatment adherence and wellness (such as obesity and diabetes). By supporting the delivery of early interventions in a convenient location for members, the Department seeks to prevent the exacerbation of both medical and behavioral conditions and treat them in the most efficient manner.
Please come to hear more information about this change and have your questions answered about the implementation of this new feature of the ACC Phase II.
Presenters
John Laukkanen
HCPF ACC Behavioral Health Liaison
We have had a lot of requests for the recording, however, after listening to it ourselves we know there are parts where is it very hard to hear what John is saying. We didn’t feel that sharing the slides alone would very helpful so went through our notes and John’s slides to create a summary of the meeting (See “Transcribed Meeting Summary” in the Materials box above). This can be used in combination with the slide set in order to get the full context of John’s talk. He had some great examples that we knew wouldn’t be included if we just shared the slides. We hope this helps, please let us know if you have any questions!
