AB - This chapter attempts to explain the economic pressures facing contemporary healthcare systems as well as the potential economic benefits of integrating primary care and behavioral health services. In order to achieve this objective, the authors first review trends in the financing of general health care, as well as the impact which behavioral health factors exert on the delivery system. Next, three basic economic arguments for the integration of primary care and behavioral health services are analyzed. The authors state that behavioral health, as used in the chapter, is a broader concept than "mental health and substance abuse". The latter are undoubtedly factors in medical service use; however there are many other behavioral factors that lead to health care seeking behavior. The authors go on to examine these behavioral health "pathways" and suggest programmatic strategies for controlling their associated medical service costs. The practicalities involved in designing and implementing programs that generate medical cost savings are also discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)(create)
