Mindful Medicine: Addressing America's Mental Health Crisis Through Integrated Care
Description
Burnout, stress, and mental health challenges are at all-time highs for healthcare professionals. According to a recent MGMA Stat poll (www.mgma.com/data), 80% of healthcare leaders reported increased levels of stress or burnout in 2022.
In response to this epidemic, MGMA has launched the Mindful Medicine podcast series. Each episode features experts in psychology, neurology, leadership, and mindfulness to explore workplace stress and provide actionable tools and resources to combat it.
This Episode's Guest
Our guest is Dr. Thomas Young, Chief Medical Officer at Proem Behavioral Health. Dr. Young delves into the connection between mental and physical health and shares insights on behavioral health integration (BHI). He also discusses the associated medical billing code that enables primary care physicians and non-physician practitioners, such as PAs, to bill for monthly mental healthcare services provided to Medicare patients.
