The Behavioral Health Checkup is designed for primary care medical groups, community clinics, and health plans (including Medicaid) that wish to identify, through the use of validated screening tools, up to 15 different behavioral health conditions among their respective populations. These 15 often-overlooked behavioral health conditions are frequently hidden drivers of healthcare costs.
The Behavioral Health Checkup contains our proprietary Behavioral Health Risk Assessment (BHRA) which screens health plan members or patients for up to 15 different behavioral health conditions in one streamlined assessment. Members/patients can be prompted to conduct the BHRA screening by a health plan coach, or, in the case of a medical group practice, by office staff, prior to the patient’s next office visit. Screenings can be completed by members/patients in the privacy of their own homes, or in the office waiting room.
Upon submission of the screening by the member/patient, the member’s/patient's screening data/results are electronically transmitted to their health coach, physician, or to a medical group's onsite behavioral health provider, much like lab results for bio-metric screenings. This gives the coach, physician or BH provider adequate time to review the results, and provide intervention, or make recommendations or referrals as needed.
By taking a more holistic approach to member/patient care, and identifying those individuals who are dealing with any number of behavioral health conditions, treatment can be implemented sooner, and ongoing costs mitigated.
The case-finding and intervention methodology employed by the Behavioral Health Checkup platform is of particular value to both Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) whose models emphasize behavioral health integration and costs savings, as well as to concierge physician practices that wish to provide a more comprehensive, holistic standard of care to their patients.
Here are the conditions that the BHRA screens for:
- Alcohol dependency
- Drug dependency
- Tobacco dependency
- Gambling Addiction
- Sleep Disorders
- Sex Addiction
- Eating Disorders
- Depression
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
- Postpartum Depression (women only)
- Bi-polar Disorder
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Anger Disorder
- Intimate Partner Violence (Domestic abuse)
Should the check-up results indicate that the patient/member is “at risk” for one or more of the foregoing conditions, he/she will then be directed to a separate intervention module for each condition that has been identified.
Screening and Brief Intervention Modules
Each intervention module contains a validated screening tool that enables the patient/member to accurately measure his/her level of risk. If the patient/member scores in an "at risk" range, the module will also:
- guide the patient/member through a brief intervention
- help the patient/member explore motivations and strategies for implementing behavioral changes
- prompt the patient/member to periodically re-screen and chart his/her progress over time
