Integrating behavioral health services into primary care requires effective financial planning and a re-conceptualizing of how to determine ROI. Part 3 of the training focused on enhanced billing practices tailored to integrated healthcare models, and focused on how to determine the contribution of integrated BH to the finances of the primary care setting or the health system as a whole.

Learning Outcomes: As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Apply billing strategies in integrated healthcare models
2. Analyze reimbursement optimization techniques
3. Understand how to identify contributions to the bottom line that are outside of fee-for-service expectations.

Session two focused on enhancing understanding of integrated care models and aspects of gaining leadership support for successful implementation. Leadership endorsement is critical for the successful implementation of integrated care methods. Participants engaged in discussions centered around strategies to gain leadership buy-in. Case analyses and group exercises empowered attendees to identify key motivators for leaders and tailor their approach to effectively communicate the benefits of integrated care, thereby securing the necessary support.

Learning Outcomes: As a result of this training, participants will be able to

1. Analyze integrated care models and leadership support strategies
2. Evaluate key motivators and tailor communication strategies for leadership buy-in
