Integrated Behavioral Health

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

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

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.
