Reimbursement Mechanisms in Team-Based Behavioral Health Care

Publication Date

Team-based behavioral health care can effectively address clinical needs and mitigate behavioral health workforce shortages. Despite the demonstrated benefits of team-based care models, experts in the fields of behavioral health workforce and network adequacy have noted that existing reimbursement models do not adequately support team-based care. This series of reports examines the development of several novel reimbursement strategies for team-based behavioral health care, common reimbursement challenges of team-based care models, and innovative approaches to sustainably bill for team-based care.

This research was conducted under contract #HHSP233201500039I between HHS/ASPE’s Office of Behavioral Health, Disability, and Aging Policy (BHDAP) and Research Triangle Institute. Additional research in this area is available at the ASPE Behavioral Health page.
