The Influence of Integration on the Expenditures and Costs of Mental Health and Substance Use Care: Results from the Randomized PRISM-E Study

Abstract: We compared the healthcare costs associated with an integrated care model to an enhanced referral model for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and atrisk drinking from the randomized Primary Care Research in Substance Abuse and Mental Health for the Elderly study. We examined total healthcare costs and cost components, separately for Veterans Affairs (VA) and non-VA participants. No differences in total health expenditures were detected between study arms. No differences in behavioral health expenditures we… Show more

“…Thus clinician behaviors and patient problems were closer to the typical clinical situation than in studies focused on a single, pure diagnostic group with highly structured treatment protocols. It is important to note that the cost of mental health and substance abuse treatment per patient per year did not differ significantly across models (28). Further analyses on cost of care will be presented in subsequent papers.…”

“…Other studies have used a four-visit criterion over a six-or 12-month period as a benchmark for minimally adequate care (28). Perhaps at these minimally adequate, albeit realistic, levels of utilization, the statistical difference in service intensity may not be great enough to drive larger differences in clinical outcomes.…”

“…For example, investigators report reducing barriers to timely consultations (Detweiler et al, 2011(Detweiler et al, , 2012 and increasing guideline-adherent treatment for depression (Watts et al, 2007). Although evidence suggests these systems may increase behavioral health costs (Domino et al, 2008), such cost impacts are not being seen in telemedicine (Fortney, Maciejewski, Tripathi, Deen, & Pyne, 2011). Implementation research indicates that sustaining integrated mental health care in primary care is likely to be most effective when clinical and administrative champions lead the culture change, in outcome oriented cultures, with interdisciplinary training and accountability systems to provide feedback to providers (Kathol, Butler, McAlpine, & Kane, 2010).…”

“…An increasing body of evidence indicates that collaborative care models (CCMs) for depression are feasible, sustainable, effective for both shortterm and long-term outcomes, and cost-effective (Katon et al, 2005;Rost et al, 2005;Gilbody et al, 2006;Domino et al, 2008;Chang-Quan et al, 2010;Chaney et al, 2011). In one variation, a non-physician care manager provides administrative coherence to primary care providers in assessing and treating patients with depression, often with the involvement of collaborating mental health specialists.…”
