Adding a behavioral health specialist to your practice can increase practice revenue. This is especially true in areas where behavioral health specialists are not accepting Medicaid. Billable screenings for depression, risk of opioid misuse, or unhealthy alcohol use increase reimbursements. There is a financial risk to small, independent practices and an assessment should be done to consider if revenue increase will cover increased salaries. Practices that have implemented new services offer operational tips to consider for successful integration.
