Overwhelmed by increasing demand, rural hospitals and health systems across America struggle with patient care delays, overuse of emergency departments, staff burnout, and reimbursement issues. May is Mental Health Month, and we at CalleoHealth, Ltd. are highlighting the incredible work of improving behavioral healthcare access across rural America. Psychiatric Medical Care the nation's largest behavioral healthcare management company, led by J.R. Greene, FACHE, is at the forefront of this effort. Stephanie Weatherly, DNP, PMH RN-BC, FACHE, PMC’s chief clinical officer, recently shared innovative solutions to overcome barriers in rural communities, addressing issues like provider shortages and mental health stigma. Through four care models—inpatient behavioral health units, intensive outpatient psychiatry programs, and telepsychiatry for EDs and rural health clinics—PMC has achieved reductions in ED visits, recidivism, and polypharmacy, along with positive community and financial outcomes. Take the first step to enhance mental healthcare in your community with the right partner. #MentalHealthMonth #BehavioralHealth #RuralHealthcare #PMC #HealthcareInnovation #MentalHealthAwareness

🧠 Between 2019 and 2022, less than half of patients had an in-person visit before a telehealth appointment for mental healthcare, new research reveals. The US Congress has permanently allowed Medicare patients to receive telehealth services for behavioral and mental healthcare in their homes, provided they have an in-person visit with the clinician within six months before the telehealth appointment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-person requirement was waived through the end of 2024. Given the looming expiration of the waiver, researchers from Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, McLean Hospital, RAND Corporation, and the Greater Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center investigated whether patients had in-person visits before telemental health visits while the requirement was lifted. #MentalHealth #Telehealth #InPersonVisits #Healthcare #Wellness #DigitalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Therapy #Psychology #VirtualCare #Telemedicine #Telepsychiatry #PatientCare #HealthTech #Technology #RemoteHealthcare

The Lack of Parity in Psychiatric Care An important new study, “Behavioral Health Parity – Pervasive Disparities in Access to In Network Care Continue” finds that people seeking care for mental health and substance use disorders pay more for that care and face more barriers to accessing that care than people seeking care for medical/surgical (M/S) conditions. Just a few of the key findings:  patients went out of network 8.9 times more frequently for psychiatrists than for M/S physicians;  M/S physicians were paid 24.9% more than psychiatrists for comparable office visits; physician assistants delivering M/S care were paid 18.7% more than psychiatrists delivering care of comparable complexity. We have a lot of work to do to reach parity and equity and to create an environment where patients can receive the care they need and deserve. https://lnkd.in/eDCMmbV4

My latest blog on the study by Petrie et al. (2023) highlights the need to acknowledge that different specialties have differing demands in physical and psychological resources. One size does not fit all; tailored policy is needed. André Tomlin & The Mental Elf #doctors #healthcare https://lnkd.in/d_xjfceA

A 2020 paper published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science estimates that approximately one fifth of the U.S. population lives in rural areas. Of those, about one fifth, or 6.5 million individuals, have a mental illness. While the prevalence of mental illness and psychiatric disorders is similar between rural and urban areas, the issue is about access to mental healthcare. People in rural areas have fewer options when it comes to seeking treatment. We sat down with Sarah Stringer, DMSc, PA-C, CAQ-Psych., Assistant Professor in the TTUHSC School of Health Professions Master of #PhysicianAssistant Studies program, to learn about the role that #PAs can play in bringing #MentalHealth treatment to rural populations. #SHPRedRaider

It’s #TelehealthTuesday! This week, we are analyzing the top 3 types of service codes used for billing #telehealth in traditional #Medicare through 2022. According to the data, most telehealth is coded as evaluation and management (E/M) services for established patients. Aside from a spike in January 2022, E/M visits via telehealth for established patients held steady from May 2021 through 2022. This emphasizes that telehealth continues to be a valuable tool for patients to access important follow-up care and keep their providers informed of their progress. Also of note, the data reiterates that telehealth remains important in behavioral health, as the volume of psychiatry visits remained virtually consistent during the Public Health Emergency.
