About This Webinar
Primary care providers are on the frontlines of health care, managing a wide range of health needs. Surprisingly, two of the top seven diagnoses treated in primary care are anxiety and depression, followed by conditions such as ADHD, trauma, and adjustment issues. In fact, 60% of all mental health diagnoses and treatments occur in primary care settings.
Yet, the growing demand for mental health services is met with challenges in affordability, long wait times, and physician shortages, leaving many patients without the care they need. These barriers, combined with the complexities of navigating the healthcare system, contribute to adverse health outcomes and increased total cost of care—factors that health insurance plans, employers, and members are acutely aware of.
This webinar will explore how integrating or equipping behavioral health programs into primary care can effectively address these challenges, improving access to mental health services and engaging members throughout their care journey.
