Magellan Healthcare’s solution for physical and behavioral healthcare integration
Magellan Healthcare’s Collaborative Care product, powered by NeuroFlow, integrates physical and behavioral healthcare in the primary care setting, empowering PCPs with technology and clinical support to identify and address low to moderate BH conditions before they escalate. Embedding BH treatment in primary care facilitates whole-person care, increases access and can reduce total cost of care by $3,365 per member over four years.
How it works
- Patient registry, cloud-based and fully integrated with electronic health records and workflows, facilitates member enrollment and real-time collaboration among the team.
- Magellan licensed care managers provide monthly, direct support to enrolled members through brief, evidence-based behavioral interventions and identification of resources, and work with PCPs, psychiatric consultants and members on care plans.
- Magellan psychiatric consultants review cases in the registry and make diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
- Member app helps build skills toward improved mental health and includes:
- Validated assessments for initial screening and check-ins.
- Patient journals and activities connected to registry for remote monitoring and risk stratification.
- Continued support to patients after graduating from the program.
- Analytics proactively identify potential enrollees, flag escalating risk and enable attribution.
