Low behavioral health treatment rates
Population-based treatment rates are low; although 20-28% of adults have a diagnosable mental illness in any given year, only 13.2% receive treatment.1

Privately-insured populations have an even lower treatment rate: 5.5%.2

Challenges and responses: Primary Care
• Contracted provider network – predominant delivery system
• Multiple payers with lack of consistent model– Low penetration – most offices at most 20% Aetna membership– Lack of standard reimbursement methodology
• Lack of infrastructure – issue of contracted network– Solo practices with minimum infrastructure– Registry, care management, data management infrastructure / EMR– Group / organized practices – EMR, academically based practices
• Need for facilitated and multiple approaches– Office type and organization– Geographic density
• Lack of adoption and persistency
• Relationship with health plan care management– Reframing of health plan care management services
Challenges and responses: Behavioral health
• Behavioral health provider network – Conceptual framework and training model
• medical versus psychological / social science– Cultural and delivery model issues with integration– Training behavioral health and primary care providers– Privacy– Incentives (carrot vs. stick vs. frozen carrot)
• Health plan integration– Similar to provider Integration and cultural issues– Integration of BH and Medical health data set and care management system
• Health Financing– Transactional versus longitudinal / outcome based– Silos between behavioral health and medical reimbursement– Lack of standard reimbursement codes to support screening, case management,
and integration– BH funding and delivery model
• Carve in versus care out• Data sharing - privacy• Funding integration

Primary Care Based Behavioral Health: Aetna’s Next Steps
• Pediatric – Child Psychiatry Initiative– Reimburses for screening, telephonic consultations, and office visits– Pilot Sites: NJ, PA, ME, OH, TX
• Screening and Brief Intervention for problem drinking– Facilitated adoption of SBI CPT codes– Integration with Alcohol Disease Management program– Utilization of integrated psychosocial and medication assisted treatment
• Behavioral health provider integration in primary care setting– 2009 pilot– Partial solution to low adoption and utilization rates– Scaling challenges - closed staff versus network model– Claims administration and medical cost challenges– Requires modification of office based behavioral health practice
