Behavioral Health Integration Services

What makes Behavior Health Integration different?

BHI is a type of care management for patients with mental health conditions. Working with CPT 99484, providers can partner with Nsight to bill monthly services delivered using the BHI models of care. This includes services like risk assessments and monitoring, care plans for patients whose condition isn’t improving, health coaching and maintaining a continuous relationship with an experienced behavior health team member

Eligible Conditions

Medicare classifies eligible conditions as any mental, behavioral health, or psychiatric condition treated by the billing practitioner, including substance use disorders, that, in the clinical judgment of the billing practitioner, calls for BHI services. The patient may have pre-existing conditions, or the billing practitioner may make the diagnosis(es) and refine them over time.
