Bree Collaborative - Behavioral Health Integration Report and Recommendations
This Report and Recommendations is focused on integrating behavioral health care services into primary care for those with behavioral health concerns and diagnoses for whom accessing services through primary care would be appropriate. This workgroup focused on using available evidence and existing models to develop eight common elements that outline a minimum standard of integrated care.

SBIRT - is an evidence-based practice to increase awareness about substance abuse through alcohol and drug screening. The links below provide information on the practice and how to implement.

• Collaborative Care Implementation Guide

 

Collaborative Care originated in a research culture and has now been tested in more than 80 randomized controlled trials in the US and abroad. Several recent meta-analyses make it clear that Collaborative Care consistently improves on care as usual. It leads to better patient outcomes, better patient and provider satisfaction, improved functioning, and reductions in health care costs, achieving the Triple Aim of health care reform. Collaborative Care necessitates a practice change on multiple levels and is nothing short of a new way to practice medicine, but it works. The bottom line is that patients get better.

Medication Review Program for Second Opinion Network (SON)

Seattle Children's Hospital provides pediatric mental health second-opinion medication reviews. Second-opinion reviews are required when a psychiatric medication is prescribed outside of guidelines set by the Pediatric Mental Health Workgroup. Seattle Children’s schedules second-opinion reviews between their psychiatrists and the pediatric prescribers within Molina’s network after the SON receives the necessary information about the child and the requested medication dosage. In addition, they are responsible for sending the written second opinion review back to HCA.

As part of the authorization process, prescribers are required to engage in a phone consultation from the SON. If a SON review is required, the SON team will call the prescriber to schedule an appointment. To receive payment for the phone consultation, use procedure code 99441 on the claim. If you are a prescriber and have any questions, please contact Molina at (800) 869-7165.

Partnership Access Line (PAL)

The Partnership Access Line is a consultation program provided through Seattle Children’s Hospital for primary care physicians (PCPs). The consultation is free, funded by the Washington State Legislature and the Washington Health Care Authority. Any primary care doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant throughout Washington state can call this line for assistance with any type of child mental health advice for any child the practitioner sees. Call (866) 599-7257 Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST for assistance, or visit www.seattlechildrens.org/PAL.
