BUILDING BUY-IN THROUGH LEADERSHIP

BUILDING BUY-IN – BUILD YOUR CASE

• Use local needs assessments & Plans• Use the research & law• Talk with local Medical providers/staff• Build the business case –cost saving &

patient health• Give examples of effective models

Question: What will you do next to build Buy-In?

Behavioral Health Integration Start-up: Nuts & Bolts • Developing Infrastructure

1. Preparation for Practice Staff2. Contract for Services3. Billing4. Hire/Identify Mental Health Professional

Behavioral Health Integration: Preparation for Practice Staff

– Clinical/practice staff agree on role – Identify Clinic Champion– Identify Introductions & Training– Include support staff, billing, clinical

& front desk–Define daily workspace, EMR,

training needs, transition time

Behavioral Health Integration: Agreements for Services– Describe model– Describe staff role/job descrip.– Describe funding & Billing–Worksite, equipment, etc.– Hiring & Supervision–Monitoring, Evaluation, &

Communication– Exchange of Information– EMR sytemsContract for Services

Lesson Learned:Billing is confusing- talk with people that have been through it, confer with State, test it, keep learning.

Behavioral Health Integration: Tackling Billing Issues– Differentiate Mental Health and

Behavioral Health–Be clear about diagnosis type–Warm-hand off not billable on

same visit as medical (typically)–All staff have to understand and

document.–Different Insurances= Different

pay

Behavioral Health Integration: Billing Challenges– Different EMRs

–Different terminology

–Different expectations

–Diagnosis & Coding

Behavioral Health Integration: Identify/Recruit/Hire Staff– Recruitment/Ads Describe Role

– Screening of Applicants

– Specific Interview Questions with “Scenarios”

– Flexiblity/Adaptability KEY

Miracles Do Happen!
