Document Behavioral Health
Without Emotional Overwhelm
Primary care practices screening for depression face double burden: emotional weight of difficult conversations plus documentation stress. PHQ-9 auto-triggers BHI workflow capturing $5K-$15K annually. Collaborative care model documented without manual time tracking. Leave work on time while supporting mental health.
Why BHI Revenue is Missed
Screening Without Billing
PHQ-9 screening done but BHI billing not captured, $5K-$15K annual opportunity missed
Emotional Documentation Burden
Documenting difficult behavioral health conversations adds overwhelming emotional weight
Time Tracking Complexity
CCM and BHI time documentation burden prevents systematic billing capture
Workflow Disconnection
Primary care and behavioral health coordination not documented, collaborative care billing missed
Systematic BHI Capture
PHQ-9 Auto-Triggers BHI Workflow
Score >10 automatically initiates BHI workflow, capturing $36 per session without additional documentation burden
Document Without Emotional Overwhelm
Support difficult behavioral health conversations without adding documentation stress to emotional work
BHI Billing Automation
96127, 99484, 99492-99494 codes captured systematically, $5K-$15K annual opportunity per 100 patients
Collaborative Care Documentation
Psychiatric consultant communication and care manager coordination documented automatically
Automatic Time Aggregation
CCM and BHI time tracked automatically, no manual stopwatch or end-of-day calculations
SDOH Integration
Social determinants screening integrated with behavioral health care planning, Z-code documentation automatic

Real-World Workflows
Depression Screening in Primary Care
PHQ-9 score >10 auto-triggers BHI workflow, $36 billing captured without additional burden
- 1 Primary care visit: PHQ-9 administered during routine appointment
- 2 Auto-scoring: PHQ-9 auto-scored and documented, severity determined (>10)
- 3 BHI workflow trigger: System automatically flags collaborative care billing opportunity
- 4 Billing capture: 96127 screening + 99484 initiation documented without manual entry
- 5 Monthly tracking: BHI management billing (99492-99494) tracked automatically
Collaborative Care Model Documentation
PCP and psychiatric consultant coordination documented automatically, time aggregated without stopwatch
- 1 PCP diagnosis: Depression identified, medication initiated, care plan documented
- 2 Psychiatric consultation: 15 min phone consultation auto-documented with evidence-linking
- 3 Care manager outreach: 20 min patient call tracked automatically during conversation
- 4 Time aggregation: 35 min total calculated automatically, 99492 billing threshold met
- 5 Ongoing management: Subsequent monthly billing (99493/99494) continues without manual tracking
SDOH and Behavioral Health Integration
Food insecurity and housing instability linked to depression, Z-codes and care planning automatic
- 1 SDOH screening: Food insecurity and housing instability identified during visit
- 2 Behavioral health correlation: Stress and depression linked to social barriers
- 3 Care plan: Community resources, food assistance, housing referral documented
- 4 Z-code auto-documentation: Z59.1 (housing), Z59.4 (food) captured automatically
- 5 BHI coordination: Behavioral health specialist collaboration documented without additional burden
Built for Primary Care Integrating Behavioral Health
Primary care with embedded therapists, FQHCs integrating behavioral health, small practices adding mental health services. Not dedicated psychiatric facilities. Systematic BHI billing capture without overwhelming documentation burden on providers addressing mental health in primary care settings.
Success Patterns from Integrated Behavioral Health Practices
Primary Care with Embedded Therapist
Practices with 3-8 providers and one embedded behavioral health counselor report:
- ✓ $8K-$15K annual BHI revenue captured per provider without additional burden
- ✓ 90% less burnout documenting difficult behavioral health conversations
- ✓ Leave work on time while systematically supporting mental health
FQHCs Integrating Behavioral Health
Federally Qualified Health Centers with behavioral health integration report:
- ✓ $48K-$120K combined CCM and BHI revenue for 5-provider practice
- ✓ SDOH screening automatically linked to behavioral health care planning
- ✓ Collaborative care model documented without manual time tracking
Rural Practices Addressing Mental Health Gap
Rural primary care practices adding behavioral health screening report:
- ✓ $5K-$12K annual BHI opportunity captured from systematic PHQ-9 screening
- ✓ 45 min to 10 min per BHI session documentation with automation
- ✓ Support mental health without psychiatric referral gaps in rural areas
Practices with embedded behavioral health counselors report the system handles BHI workflow automatically while physicians focus on patients. Physicians leave work by 6pm. Practices capture $12K in previously missed billing.
