I appreciate Dr. Blount's comments regarding traditional community MH
staff and the lack of fit in a primary care setting. But I have also
seen models where a partnership with a community mental health center is
working well and is clinically appropriate for primary care, including
some that started out with old models, realized they were on the wrong
track and then redesigned. So, clinicians from traditional settings are
not necessarily unable to do primary care based work if they are given
clear models, training and support.
Often, I think MH people have been placed/hired into a primary care
setting without any training in a truly PC-based approach of
consultation, brief assessment and intervention. As Parinda Khatri of
Cherokee says, " This is not doing the same thing faster, it is
different work." One of the issues nationally is where the PC/BH
workforce will come from and how well trained they will be. The NCCBH
effort has been to be clear about the differences in primary care based
work(Quadrants I and III in the Four Quadrant model).
However, state payment and licensure issues are involved as well. In
many states, if you want to bill Medicaid for BH services, you must play
by the BH licensing and regulatory rules. Many states have mandated 20
page assessments for anyone served by the public system. Billing and
coding rules are also different from state to state, whether fee for
service or managed care Medicaid. Some of the most interesting
integration models for Medicaid populations are in carve out
states....the devil is truly in the details of how each state has
developed the Medicaid program.
Take a look at the state assessment tool on the NCCBH website:
http://www.nccbh.org/html/learn/primary.htm. These state policy and
financing issues are critical to assuring there is structural and
financial support for clinical integration. Barb Mauer

Hello Dr. Blount-
We had a couple of LCSW's attend the conference in Minnesota in October
. They told me that you were talking about developing a manuel for start
up and maintenance around coding and billing issues. I would love to
hear more about this and how we might collaborate about how to make this
happen in our state as well.
thanks

I will send you the article which only talks about the evidence. If you
are looking for "how to" info, you might want to look at Integrated
Primary
Care: The Future of Medical and Mental Health Collaboration, Norton. Or
check www.integratedprimarycare.com. I have to tell you that programs
that bring a worker or two from a community mental health center and
transplant them in a primary care setting (if that is what you are
doing) tend to have a difficult time. The mental health workers often
want to import the culture of specialty mental health, with its rules
about confidentiality, its 50 min hours, and its preference for longer
therapies. It is a poor fit with primary care. You may already be
fully aware of all this and planning to do a very different program. If
not, look at a few of the books listed on the book page of
www.integratedprimarycare.com .

Good afternoon, Dr. Blount,
I work for a large community mental health/substance abuse center in

Craig,
I've tried to contact you directly, but e-mail keeps on getting
rejected.
Any suggestions for getting something through to you directly?

Greetings...I suggest you contact Sarah Bannon, MSW
(sbb at riverwoodcenter.org) who is a principal author, along with Michigan
State University staff, of our recently started research study to
investigate the efficacy and cost-savings of primary health care and
behavioral health care integration.
Or, you can feel free to contact me. I am a lead behavioral health
clinician, implementing the integration model in a primary health care
setting. This setting is InterCare Community Health Network, located in
Benton Harbor, MI. I am employed by the Berrien County, MI Mental
Health
Authority. The integration model is a collaborative effort between
these
two institutions and has been in place for more than two years. We have
provided integrated services to more than 1500 patients to date, ages 3
years to 90+ years. It is quite exciting.
Take care,
Craig M. Schneider, Ph.D.
