Improving Access to Behavioral Health in Underserved North Carolina Through Targeted Case Management - Improving Access to Care for Behavioral Health in Underserved North Carolina Through Targeted Case Management This project will serve adults and minors that suffer from SUD, SPMI, SED and co-morbid MH/SA illnesses that sometimes have uncontrolled physical health disease states. This program will serve 300 patients over a 2 year period or approximately 100-150 patients there after annually that will be funded by other revenues outside of CCBHC Funding. Services will be delivered based on medical necessity regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or ability to pay. Priority populations will be persons with uncontrolled disease states and those with identified healthcare disparities to include, but not limited to; minority populations (ethnicity, sexual orientation, indigent, Veterans). Daymark has the full continuum of CCBHC required. This grant will supply need fiscal support to strengthen our targted case management (TCM) program. The goal will be that TCM will impact compliance to treatment, resulting in increased units of services delivered in other profitable services and better health outcomes. Though TCM services we will provide higher doses of care that will result in higher revenues and better health outcomes. The end product is lower cost care due to patients in cheaper preventative care and better revenue generation. This will afford us the ability to treat patients based on medical necessity and not the ability to pay. Daymark will use existing funding streams to provide all of the preventative and crisis care to our population in order to stretch the State, Federal, County and private dollars available to afford the most persons possible a high quality of integrated care to meet the conditions associated with their SPMI. The goal is for TCM to provide enough engagement, case management and care coordination to stabilize the disease state of the patient through higher doses of care to the point a larger number of units are service are done in preventative care versus costly emergency care. The end goal being no patient is refused an adequate dose of any service they need based on the ability to pay. There should be enough additional revenue provided by the additional services that TCM spurs, that there will be no need to restrict care to indigent or at risk populations. This should also result in better health outcomes, which will allow us to contract for services more favorably with our public and private funders.
