Behavioral Healthcare Management
The Most Cost Effective Program Available

Interface’s Behavioral Healthcare Management Services provide a proactive approach for increasing value while controlling cost for Mental Health & Substance Abuse (MH/SA) treatment, thereby reducing overall medical costs for the self-funded health plan.  It “carves out” the management of MH/SA treatment, while keeping the payment of health plan claims in the self-funded plan.  

The goal of the Behavioral Healthcare Management Services is to ensure each participant receives appropriate treatment in the most cost efficient manner.  This is a simple idea in theory but more difficult to put into practice for many employers. Interface’s program receives very positive feedback from network providers.  Many providers mention how refreshing it is to work with a managed care company who sincerely cares about the patient. 

Standard utilization review and/or PPO firms have been designed primarily for the medical/surgical portion of health plans, managing only higher levels of treatment (e.g. inpatient hospitalization).  However, unlike medical care where surgery and other procedures are aimed at correcting the problem while in the hospital, effective long-term MH/SA treatment does not occur until the patient is stabilized and directed to lesser levels of care.  Managing and directing all levels of treatment is critical to increasing the chances of a successful outcome and providing cost savings; otherwise, the employer’s dollars are not effectively utilized.  

Interface will provide the following services for behavioral health treatment covered under the employer’s health plan:

·         Resolution of short-term problems under the EAP without referring to the health plan

·         Care Management for all levels of treatment

·         Utilization Management

·         Extensive MH/SA PPO network with contracted per diems for each level of care

·         Review and repricing of insurance billings for MH/SA treatment prior to payment by the plan administrator 

When Interface manages the treatment from the assessment through aftercare, the value of the treatment is enhanced.  Utilizing our step-down approach, participants are directed to appropriate treatment levels within the MH/SA PPO to ensure positive resolution of their problem(s).  Behavioral Healthcare Management Services = the right treatment with the right provider at the right time.
