Understanding Integrated Care Options…
…and How YOU Can Benefit
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
“Every patient, every person, must have a
comprehensive personal care plan, that addresses the
whole person. That includes all of their problems and
concerns and resources and fears and experiences, and
essentially, incorporates into that those factors such
that you've got a coherent plan for health…that makes
use of all of that. So that if there are mental diagnoses,
if there are chronic diseases, if there are acute problems,
prevention needs, all of those are understood in the
context of each other; a whole person plan of care.”
These remarks by Frank DeGruy, MD, NIAC Chair, were part of the Mental Health Forum and Town Hall Meeting at the AHRQ
2011 Annual Conference. This Forum featured national experts on integrated healthcare, including several members of the
National Integration Academy Council (NIAC) who discussed policy, research, and the state of the field related to integrating
behavioral health and primary care.

Integrated Care
• Integrated care model
Treating medical/physical and behavioral (mental
health/substance use) conditions in an integrated,
coordinated fashion in primary care, with the PCP
coordinator of the care team
• Collaborative Care
An integrated approach to health care delivery in
primary care, medical and behavioral health
providers work together to address the patients
medical and behavioral health needs.

TODAY’S CARE
Integrated Primary
Care
My main problem for the day is what
determines my care; BH problems
may or may not be discussed
All of my health needs are covered,
including BH, stress, housing, job…
factors necessary to plan care
Care is determined by today’s
problem and time available today
Care varies by scheduled time and
memory or skill of the doctor
Care is guided by patients goals
I am responsible for coordinating my
own care
Along with a team of professionals, I
help coordinate my care
I assume I’m getting quality care
because my doc is well-trained
Quality of my care is measured, and
continuously improved
I always have to make an
appointment or wait as walk-in; ED
If I need care today, I can walk-in or get
help without traveling to the clinic
I have to tell the doc what happened
to me
The doc knows all about my other
medical visits/tests/prescriptions
I have to go to another provider for
BH issues in another clinic
A team works with me, at the top of
their licenses to serve patients
Care is standardized according to
evidence-based guidelines

What it Looks and Feels Like in Primary
Care or a Beh Health Agency
You are at the center of your care
You work with a team as a member of the healthcare
team; brief interventions
All of your needs are addressed
…IF you have high blood pressure…
…if you MIGHT drink a little too much…
…IF you have schizophrenia…
…IF you have I/DD…
…IF you’re a caregiver…

Six Reasons You Want Behavioral Health in Primary Care
Reason 1: We all go to Primary Care (or we should), including those with BH
needs
Reason 2: Many people don’t get BH needs met
Reason 3: High Cost of Unmet Behavioral Health Needs
Reason 4: Better Health Outcomes
Reason 5: Improved Satisfaction
Primary Care Behavioral Health
-Improves Access
-Reduces Costs
-Improves Patient
-Leads to Better Health

Patient-Centered Medical Home
Reason One: Most of Us Get Primary Care
• 84% of the time, the 14 most common physical
complaints have no identifiable cause1
• 80% with a behavioral health disorder will visit primary
care at least 1 time in a year2
• HALF of all behavioral health disorders are treated in
primary care3
• Almost half of the appointments for all psychiatric
medications are with a non-psychiatric primary care
provider4

Patient-Centered Medical Home
Reason Two: Unmet Behavioral Health Needs
• More than half of people with a behavioral health disorder do
not get behavioral health treatment1
• 30-50% of referrals from primary care to an outpatient
behavioral health clinic don’t make first appt2,3
• Two-thirds of primary care physicians reported not being
able to access outpatient behavioral health for their
patients…due to shortages of mental health care providers,
health plan barriers, and lack of coverage or inadequate
coverage

Cost of Unmet Needs Continued
• Healthcare use/costs twice as high in diabetes and heart disease patients with
depression1
Annual Cost – those
without MH condition
Annual Cost – those

High Blood Pressure
$3,481
$5,492
Asthma
$2,908

• Approximately 217 million days of work are lost annually to related mental
illness and substance use disorders (costing employers $17 billion/year)2

Sounds GREAT…How do I get it?
NOT Paid for in current fee for service
system
Some FQHCs and a few primary care
practices funded by grants
Some BH agencies offer primary care
in their agencies as well

THE ANSWER: Medicaid Reform
Accountable Care Organizations are integrated
groups of health care providers who:
• Deliver coordinated care across health care
settings
• Agree to be held accountable for achieving:
– measured quality improvements and
– reductions in the rate of spending growth.
• Keep and Improve the LME-MCO System
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Sounds GREAT…How do I get it?
Talk to your general assembly members about what
YOU want, because where the state system goes, others
usually follow!
