Magellan Healthcare’s solution for physical and behavioral healthcare integration
Magellan Healthcare’s Collaborative Care program brings physical and behavioral healthcare together in the primary care setting, equipping providers with technology and clinical support to identify and address low to moderate behavioral health needs before they escalate. By embedding behavioral health treatment into primary care, organizations can deliver whole-person care, increase access and reduce reliance on costly emergency or specialty services. The result: healthier individuals, measurable outcomes and definable savings through more effective use of resources.
