Reimbursement Of Mental Health Services In Primary Care Settings

Implementing these practical and largely achievable suggestions will improve access to timely and targeted mental health services in primary care settings. Program and clinical experts agree that the early prevention and treatment of mental disorders will result in decreases in individual suffering, family burden, and medical costs. This project provided an important opportunity to review policy and service-delivery change mechanisms aimed at improving the reimbursement of mental health services in primary care settings. By using knowledge from a variety of individuals and settings and combining empirical research with qualitative interviews and the Expert Forum proceedings, this project identified areas where Federal agencies, states, provider organizations, and commissioner associations can clarify, collaborate, educate, and provide support to improve the reimbursement of and access to mental health services in primary care settings.
