AB - The authors describe a real-world application of virtually integrated primary and behavioral health care implemented within an accountable care organization (ACO) system. Cost-of-care data from before and after a 6-month intervention were analyzed for 121 Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus ACO members. The intervention was associated with a significant shift in the distribution of health care costs, from inpatient and emergency care to outpatient and preventive care. The program demonstrates a flexible and replicable approach to integration that can help expand effective primary care.
