Mindful Medicine: Addressing America's Mental Health Crisis Through Integrated Care
Download MP3As you know, burnout, stress and other mental health-related issues are at all-time highs for healthcare professionals. According to a recent MGMA Stat poll (www.mgma.com/data/data-stories/mgma-stat-overview), 80% of healthcare leaders said their level of stress or burnout had increased in 2022. Because of this stress-related epidemic, MGMA has developed a new podcast series, Mindful Medicine, where each episode we will talk with experts in the fields of psychology, neurology, leadership and mindfulness to help explain workplace stress and provide tools and resources to combat it.
Our guest for this episode is Dr. Thomas Young, Chief Medical Officer at Proem Behavioral Health. Dr. Young talks about the connection between mental health and physical health and shares thoughts on behavioral health integration and the associated medical billing code. This code allows primary care physicians and non-physician practitioners such as PAs to bill for monthly mental healthcare services provided to Medicare patients.
