Collaborative Care
Bringing Behavioral Health Services To Your Organization
Access. Efficiency. Allied. Allied BHI’s Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) is at the forefront of behavioral health integration. Our mission is simple: increase patient access to mental health services, make behavioral healthcare more efficient and ally with medical practices and care organizations in the future of comprehensive healthcare.
How The Collaborative Care Model Works
Our Collaborative Care Model has five major players:
This team works together to develop and implement a measurement-guided care plan following evidence-based practice guidelines that help you provide holistic care to your patients. The integration of behavioral health and physical healthcare improves patient outcomes, cuts down on overall costs and reduces the stigma surrounding mental health.
How The Collaborative Care Model Works: Billing Providers
As the billing provider, you play a pivotal role in behavioral health integration. You are often at the forefront of identifying and addressing mental health concerns in your patients—and by partnering with Allied BHI, you can ensure your patients receive timely care.
If your patient is showing signs of mental illness or has expressed concerns about their mental health, you can easily connect them with an Allied BHI behavioral health specialist. This specialist will have evidence-based counseling sessions with the patient, monitor their progress, administer assessments to the patient and consult with both you and the psychiatric consultant for treatment progress and recommendations. As the billing provider, you can confirm diagnoses, write or refill prescription medications and ensure your patients are receiving the best possible care.
By combining your medical expertise with a comprehensive understanding of the connections between physical and mental health, you can contribute significantly to the success of behavioral health integration efforts. Furthermore, as the billing provider, you can expect an increase in revenue at your practice or organization, an increase in patient satisfaction and a more efficient allotment of your precious time and resources.
How The Collaborative Care Model Works: Patients
Patients who may be experiencing symptoms of mental illness can now receive mental health care more easily and efficiently than ever before. On average, patients can wait up to three to four months to be seen by a psychiatric specialist—but by incorporating Allied BHI’s mental health services into your practice or organization, patients can get the crucial treatment they need as soon as possible. Patients who elect to undergo mental health care can stay in-house, allowing them to be treated for their physical and mental health all under one roof and feel comfortable and supported as they navigate their mental illness. As a part of our Collaborative Care Model, patients will undergo regular counseling sessions with our behavioral health specialists and fill out regular assessments to monitor treatment progress. Counseling sessions are tailored to the specific needs of each patient by our qualified team. Behavioral health services are also affordable for patients—many insurances only require a small co-pay for each visit.
How The Collaborative Care Model Works: Behavioral Health Specialists
Our team of qualified, compassionate behavioral health specialists seamlessly integrate into your practice to provide evidence-based, expert mental health care. Behavioral health specialists have counseling sessions with patients that are tailored to their specific needs and goals; administer assessments to help monitor patient progress; frequently consult with and update the billing provider and psychiatric consultant on treatment progress; adhere to the medical advice and treatment guidance from the billing provider and psychiatric consultant; and overall plays an integral role in developing, implementing and monitoring the patient’s behavioral health treatment plan.
How The Collaborative Care Model Works: Psychiatric Consultants
Allied BHI works with a network of board certified psychiatrists who help to provide treatment and medication guidance for your patients. While the behavioral health specialists will have direct contact with the patient, psychiatric consultants will collaborate with the behavioral health specialist and the billing provider to provide their expertise and recommendations for treatment and medication. We work with consulting psychiatrists who have specialization in various mental disorders as well as age groups—from children to seniors.
How The Collaborative Care Model Works: Registry Software
Allied BHI’s proprietary registry software is an industry-leading platform that allows for ease of communication between behavioral health specialists, psychiatric consultants and billing providers. The platform is secure and user-friendly and seamlessly integrates with your EHR—making onboarding a breeze. Monitor your patients’ progress, review medications and treatment recommendations and ensure your patients are getting the high-quality care they deserve with just a few clicks.
