[PC-BH-Integration] networking

[Lori Partee]

Greetings,
I am hoping to network with other Health Integration Specialists, providing behavioral health services in a medical care setting.  I have been in this setting for the past 4 years.  We started with 4 positions and once the MH incentives stopped, and the Medical agency was required to pay for the service, it was reduced to 1 position.  We  have been billing for the past 2 years the 96150-96151 codes.  We are looking for ways to improve the program by checking with others who are doing similar work.  Some questions are: How is your agency billing if at all?  Are they getting reimbursed for services?  Does anyone use the disease model for services?  Productivity measures--Do you have specific expectations?  What were they when you started vs. now?
I believe in the value of the service provided and would like to strengthen this program.  Please respond if you would like to share information about your job and program.
Thanks,
Lori Partee, LMSW
