Integrated Behavioral HealthGet on the Medical Home BusWhat is Integrated Care? Benefits of Integrated Care in the Medical Home 84% of the time, the 14 most common physical complaints have no identifiable organic etiology. 80% of people with a behavioral health disorder will visit primary care at least one time in a calendar year. 50% of all behavioral health disorders are treated in primary care. 48% of the appointments for all psychotropic agents are with a non-psychiatric primary care provider. 67% of people with a behavioral health disorder do not get behavioral health treatment. 30-50% of referrals from primary care to an outpatient behavioral health clinic do not make the first appointment. Two-thirds of primary care physicians (PCPs) (N=6,660) reported not being able to access outpatient behavioral health for their patients. Shortages of mental health care providers, health plan barriers, and lack of coverage or inadequate coverage were all cited by PCPs as important barriers to mental healthcare access.
