Behavioral Health Integration into Primary Care

Behavioral health integration into primary care is a key ingredient in achieving the triple aim of providing better care, achieving better health and doing it at a lower cost. As this becomes more recognized, we’re seeing payers offer reimbursement opportunities to fund the integration of care, such as the Chronic Care management code and the four new G-codes that CMS is proposing to separate payment for services covering behavioral health integration (BHI) in the primary care setting: GPPP1, GPPP2, GPPP3, GPPPX. These are additional billing opportunities to the existing testing and screening codes that can be used with Vault to help fund behavioral health integration.
