2015 Healthcare Benchmarks: Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care

Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care Benchmark Data

2015 Healthcare Benchmarks:
Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care

Behavioral health conditions affect nearly one of five Americans, leading to healthcare costs of $57 billion a year, on par with cancer, according to a 2009 AHRQ brief.

Despite this impact, and the ACA's provision for behavioral healthcare as an essential health benefit, progress toward total integration of behavioral healthcare into the primary care system has been slow.

2015 Healthcare Benchmarks: Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care captures healthcare's efforts to achieve healthcare parity and honor the joint principles of the patient-centered medical home, including a whole person orientation and provision of coordinated and/or integrated care.
