Welcome!
Better Health Together (BHT) has been tasked with aiding our region's behavioral health providers as they make the transition to integrated managed care (IMC). BHT will support providers that are implementing new billing processes and new management systems within their electronic health records (EHR). We will also provide on-going technical assistance to providers in order to improve upon the infrastructure necessary to implement IMC.  Technical assistance provided will focus on improving admin processes, tools, and technology systems that aide in operating within an integrated managed care system.

BHT will use this page as a method to help organize and disseminate the communication and tools necessary to support providers. If you have any comments or suggestions on page content, contact Sarah Bollig Dorn at sarah@betterhealthtogether.org.
