AtlantiCare Behavioral Health (ABH) Primary Care and Behavioral Integration Program will serve adult consumers in Atlantic County, New Jersey who have co-occurring behavioral health and medical conditions. This program will co-locate primary care medical providers at a behavioral health clinic. The program will also provide care management, prevention and health promotion activities, and behavioral health services at one location. A l l services are designed to be collaborative and integrated with the aim of treating the whole person and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the integrated services. The goal of the program is to improve the health status of the population of focus, and, by addressing the health needs of the wider behavioral health population, to achieve the triple aim objectives of improving the quality of services, improving consumer experience, and lowering the cost of services. We will provide services to a minimum of 1,650 unduplicated consumers over the four year grant period. We plan to serve 200 unduplicated consumers in year one of the grant, 375 unduplicated consumers in year two of the grant, 475 unduplicated consumers in year three of the grant, and 600 unduplicated consumers in year four of the grant. ABH views sustainability as a key element of the proposed program and fully intends to continue integrated primary and behavioral health services following the end of the grant period.
