Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI)

What is PCMHI?

Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) is a program that provides mental health and/or psychiatric treatment in the primary care office. It is designed to make mental health care more available to patients who need/want it. PCMHI involves a team of mental health professionals who work closely with primary care providers (PCPs) to learn about a patient's specific mental health needs and help provide treatment.

Why am I being referred to PCMHI?

Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety are common and can impact your overall health. Your PCP has begun to address and treat your mental health concerns, though you may not yet be seeing improvement in your symptoms. A referral to the PCMHI program allows a specialized team of mental health professionals to make recommendations about medications, provide therapy, and/or help with referrals to other services.

How does the program work?

1. Your PCP sends a referral to the PCMHI team.
2. The PCMHI team reviews your medical chart and will either schedule an appointment with you, or provide recommendations to your PCP.
3. Your PCP will incorporate the recommendations into your care plan.
4. If needed, a member of the PCMHI scheduling team will call you to schedule an appointment with a member of the PCMHI team.

Emergencies

Emergency situations are given immediate attention. We provide 24-hour physician coverage for emergencies. When you call after hours, you will hear our answering machine, which will provide instructions on what to do. The on-call doctor will return your call if requested. Please do not leave a message if it is not an emergency. Call back during regular office hours. In extreme emergencies, please call 911. When you arrive at the hospital, please identify yourself or your child as our patient.

Test Results

We will notify you of all lab and x-ray results. If you have an appointment scheduled shortly after your test, we will go over the results with you during your office visit. We may also contact you by phone or mail. If you have not heard from us within two weeks of your test, please call our office.
