Summary
EmblemHealth is emphasizing Mental Health Awareness Month and encouraging providers to screen for mental health conditions, coordinate care with behavioral health services, and ensure proper follow-up after mental health-related ED/IP admissions. This is guidance for care coordination rather than a billing policy change.
Action Required
Providers should incorporate mental health screening into patient encounters and coordinate with behavioral health specialists when needed. For referrals or questions, contact Carelon at 888-447-2526. No immediate billing system changes required.
