Behavior Health Integration (BHI)
What is Behavioral Health Integration (BHI)?
Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) is a Medicare-approved program and a core part of Value-Based Care. It is designed to connect mental health support with everyday physical healthcare. Instead of treating "mind" and "body" separately, BHI brings therapists, primary care providers, and care managers together to create one cohesive plan. This care process would reduce waiting rooms and procedure repetition because behavioral health providers would concentrate on comprehensive well-being evaluation and treatment.
The BHI system coordinates healthcare services so your primary care provider can adjust insulin doses while your therapist treats mood changes, all in sync. Monthly check-ins track progress, tweak treatments, and catch issues early so small struggles do not become significant setbacks.
Primary Care Provider (PCP): Coordinates overall care.
Behavioral Health Care Manager: Provides ongoing monitoring and coping strategies.
Consulting Psychiatrist: Guides treatment adjustments and medication plans.
Monthly Check-Ins: Track progress using validated assessments and adjust integrated care plans proactivel
How BHI Works
Personalized Assessment
Your providers start with a detailed behavioral health assessment to understand your personalized struggles. They use evidence-based tools to identify needs, such as dedicated screenings for depression or anxiety severity.
Custom Care Planning
Patients will receive a proper care plan that addresses therapy, lifestyle changes, medication (if needed), and specialist consultations. A patient with both conditions could receive a combined care plan that includes diabetes glucose monitoring and weekly behavioral health treatment.
Ongoing Support & Adjustments
Your behavioral health care manager checks in monthly to review progress, update goals, and address setbacks. If treatments are not working, the team adjusts quickly, such as switching treatment methods or connecting you with a psychiatrist.

Why Our BHI Program Stands Out
24/7 Access to Mental Health Support
Your care team is available 24/7 for all the urgent needs. Whether you are facing a panic attack at midnight or need medication advice, our telehealth service is a call or message away.
Personalized, Patient-Centered Care
No two patients are alike. Your plan is designed specifically for you, whether you are balancing work, family, or health challenges. We focus on achievable goals, like improving sleep habits or reducing stress triggers.
Seamless Coordination Between Providers
Your primary care provider, therapists, and specialists share real-time updates. This integrated healthcare approach eliminates fragmented care and ensures everyone works toward the same goals.
