Michael,
Think you are on the right track = A general consent for the practice that includes behavioral health. This should cover you when invited in by the physician to help out. One of our peer groups which represents an array of practices has almost unanimously decided that when the behaviorist and patient then have a planned appointment that a more traditional consent/disclosure statement should be signed. Since the number of patients scheduled for follow-up is smaller and they may be exercising their mental health insurance benefit, this seems manageable and aligns with licensing boards (depending on your interpretation)
 
I will be curious to see what others have to say.

Hi all,

I've got a question for the list about how those who are working in fully
integrated primary care settings are working with the consent to
treat/disclosure statement. We're in Boulder, CO and have behavioral health
clinicians in a number of medical sites, working alongside primary care
providers in a very integrated way, entering notes into the same EMR, etc.
One kink we've come up against is the requirements of our licensing boards
to have a consent/disclosue signed with each patient. Though we go over
confidentiality, etc. verbally, it's rather clunky to "the flow"
to introduce a disclosure signing into the visit. It also feels more like
setting up a "specialty mental health" model, which we are trying to stay
away from.

I've thought the best solution would be to have patients sign a behavioral
health disclosure/consent to treat when they enroll at the clinic along with
the briefer medical consent to treat. Some may not use the behavioral health
service, but some will. This way, we would also be advertising the
integrated model we offer. The medical clinic is reluctant to do this. We're
working on this reluctance--seeing if the shift in frame from
"psychotherapy" to "behavioral health consultation" helps to also
shift people's reluctance about it.

I thought I'd see what other people have come up with. Any suggestions?
