Managed Care and Integration
How One Organization Is Approaching This Dynamic Change To Current
Practices
Robert B. Baker, MD, MMMVPMA, MHS- Indiana
Bernard T. Engelberg, MDMedical Director, Cenpatico

What is Integrated Care? (Managed Care View)
• Is Coordinated Care Integrated Care?– What do you think coordination means?
• Shared information, shared treatment plans, more than one person deals with the patient’s problems
• How does it actually look? How does it function?
• Is Co-Location Integrated Care?• Where do functional impairments stop and mental impairments
begin?• Can PH practitioners treat SMI?• Can BH practitioners treat PH problems?• Medications?• Information sharing?
4
Why is this important?
• Comorbidities are common - >25%• Only 5% see a mental health provider• 80% see a PMP• Disproportionate needs in minority
populations• Paradoxical decrease usage in refugee
populations
5
Importance of Screening
According to a NAMI survey:• 13% of youth aged 8-15 live with mental illness• 21% of youth aged 13-18• ½ of all cases of mental illness begin by age 14• Average delay of 8-10 years from the onset of
symptoms to intervention• Fewer than ½ of children with a diagnosable
mental illness receive services in a given year
6
What are our goals?• Synergistic decrease in utilization (cost)
– Cherokee model – 28% decrease in medical utilization– 27% decrease in psychiatry visits– 34% decrease in psychotherapy– 48% decrease in mobile crisis team encounters
• Improved Health Outcomes– May increase mental health cost for the episode of care– Overall morbidity may decrease– Quality of care can increase
7
Treatment Barriers
• Substance Abuse• Psychological Components of Physical Illness• Nonadherence• Unhealthy Behaviors• Social Support Gaps• Hierarchy of Needs• Cultural and Linguistic Issues
8
What is the current state of affairs?
• Not enough mental health providers to supply demands
• Not enough PMPs – at least 15,000 FTE short in the US for current demand
• Estimated 50,000 FTE shortage for a fully insured population
• Staff productivity
9
Cross-Training
• AHEC interest• Expanded curricula• UMass program• HRSA training and funding • Use of mental health grants• Use of standardized screening and
assessment tools• Speaking the same language
10
Documentation
• EHRs• Outcomes measurement (SF-12, others)• Health Information exchanges• Define shared data sets• Improved reimbursement
11
Who are the players?
• MCEs– Case Managers
• Integrated Health Systems• CMHCs• OMPP• Medical Homes (co-located, embedded)
– Patient Navigators, Care Managers• Getting Everyone To Talk With Each Other
– In The Weeds– IPHCA
12
What are the barriers to a more integrated system?
• Promoting co-located care• Promoting truly integrated care• Credentialing• Integrated treatment plans• Shared information
– Many release forms available
13
What can be done?• MCE Level
– Case Management– Telephones– Disease Management – stratification of risk– Toolkits– Facilitated follow-up appointments
• CMC Level– Written Referral Arrangements with FQHCs
• State Level– Full range covered services
14
Integrated Level• Embedded BH practitioner on primary care team• Integrated clinical record and treatment plan• BH screening of the primary care patient – normalizes
the illness• Multidisciplinary meetings• Clinic redesign• Coordination with wrap-around care• Seamless transition across settings (e.g. hospital to
outpatient)• Shared knowledge about resources (parents and
patients want this – not just a prescription!) - Binders, handouts, referrals, support groups, community
services
15
Financial Barriers
• Telemedicine • Treatment Team Meetings• Co-management• Brief Consultation• Same Day Restrictions on Billing• Use of Mid-levels• Reimbursing SBIRT
16
Financial Solutions
• No carve out• Determine proper coding, e.g. 90801 psych
vs. 96150 medical• Telemedicine reimbursement• Demonstrating ROI
17
Regulatory Solutions
• State decision on claims policy – modifier codes
• Privacy concerns
18
Legal Barriers
• HIPAA interpretations
19
Solutions to Legal Issues
• Health Coordination forms– Auditing continuity of care
20
…so why integrate?
• Each year up to 30% of Adults meet criteria for a mental health problem
• Up to 70% of children and adolescents in need of MH services do not receive them
• Undiagnosed SA disorders impact PH.• MH problems 2-3x more common in chronic
medical illnesses• Untreated MH issues lead to functional
impairment
21
What Needs to Change in Primary Care?
• Role of CMHCs in a Patient Centered Medical Home
• Redesign of practices that permit identification of MH/SA issues
• Monitor MH outcomes• Coordinate treatment more closely with MH
specialists
22
Role of CMHC
• Integration; not just collaboration• “Stepped Care” matching patient’s needs to
services provided• Availability – office visits and telephone• SA and dual diagnosis solutions• Integrated “piggy-back” hand-offs
23
Crucial Links
• PCPs need tools for MH/SA identification• Case managers/Care Coordinators needed
for patient success• PCPs need to know what help is available
upon SA/MH identification• EHR availability to all involved parties• Education on outcomes measurements• Assessment of system efficacy
24
Bringing It Together (MCE view)
• Health Risk Screening• Patient Analysis - leveling tools• Intensive Case Management• Care Management• Payment Strategies
