The Maine Experience • Anthem’s representation on the Maine Health Access Foundation (MEHAF) Integrated Care Policy workgroup • Mutual interest on integrating medical and behavioral health care • Anthem initiated the use of Health and Behavior Assessment & Intervention CPT codes as a starting point
The Maine Experience (cont) • The Anthem work was the foundation to further evaluate this with other payers; influence change; and share the outcome results to demonstrate value
Maine Experience Outcomes • Partnering outcomes included: • Ability to reach a large provider network with significant patient population • A multi-constituent workgroup to spread the word of the initiative and provide feedback • Maintain momentum and focus thru Program staff • Expansion and inclusion of other payers, public and private • Results that help influence ongoing support, future policy or redirection of the initiative
