[PC-BH-Integration] BH Consultation

[KINNEY Charmaine]

So far we are billing under Mental Health. There are new codes in PCP clinics to bill for Mental Health screens but it hasn't gone the other way that we can tell--it is an issue that needs to be solved in order for there to be true integrative care. 
 
As far as caseloads, the ACT nurses in our network are seeing 200 people in their clinics, but also carry an individual caseload of around 4-8 clients. The new integrative RN's that will be doing screening and case coordination to get clients connected will have around 150 on their panel at anyone time, these should only be short-term with most being done in 2-3 months. Marcus, what is the panel size for the psych nurse practitioners at Cascadia?

Hello,

 

We are having a very difficult time getting the consultation time paid for by any third party payer.  Our mental health center is doing the billing.  How are others doing this?  Also, does anyone have a business plan that they would be willing to share that makes this venture be at the very least, cost neutral?

 

Thanks in advance for sharing,

Susan
