Primary Care Integration

Coordinating Patient Referrals

Our behavioral health consultants help coordinate referrals for those patients who need it, to appropriate specialty behavioral health services, as well for those patients transferred back to primary-care providers from specialty services for the ongoing management of physical health issues and for maintaining treatment of such mental health conditions as intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), substance-use disorders, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Each of Access East’s care-management teams includes at least one Social Work Care Manager, or else as-needed access to a Social Work Care Manager.
