New behavioral health resources for collaboration and care

July 31, 2015

To facilitate communication between primary care physicians (PCP) and behavioral health care providers, Independence and Magellan Healthcare, Inc., an independent company, are working together to provide resources for physicians when assessing and managing behavioral health conditions.

We recently replaced the current PCP to Behavioral Health Provider Communication Form and the Clinician Communication Form with a new Clinician Collaboration Form. The new form can be completed and sent electronically, or printed and mailed to the provider. In addition, a link to the Magellan Healthcare Medical Providers? Behavioral Health Toolkit has been added as a resource for patient management. This toolkit contains descriptions of common behavioral health concerns (including substance use), user-friendly screening tools, patient handouts, provider tip sheets, informational materials, and more.

Both the Clinician Collaboration Form and Behavioral Health Toolkit can be downloaded from the Worksheets, Forms, and Guides section of our website or from the NaviNet® web portal under Health and Wellness in the Administrative Tools & Resources section of Independence Plan Central.
