Résumé
Integrated behavioral health care (IBHC) improves patient outcomes, decreases cost, and increases patient satisfaction. It has become increasingly evident that IBHC must be incorporated into the US health care system. Although most health care providers agree that IBHC is beneficial, there is great debate regarding financial sustainability. Some studies have shown that incorporating BHCs into primary care clinics allows providers to see more patients, thus generating more revenue indirectly. In this article, the authors discuss funding and billing for IBHC. The authors truly believe that once properly implemented, IBHC will lower costs and improve patient care in the long run.
