New report prepares BHOs for integrated managed care

A new Healthier Washington report highlights best practices and lessons learned in preparing behavioral health organizations to move to integrated managed care.

The report is a compilation of learnings from behavioral health providers in the Southwest Washington and North Central regions. It also contains guidance from a billing and information technology contractor that provided technical assistance to both regions as they moved to integrated physical and behavioral health.

Divided into four sections, the report highlights the importance of:

• Collaboration
• Communication
• Billing and payment technical assistance
• Data reporting, retention, and tracking
