When behavioral health conditions are left untreated, we often see poorer physical health outcomes that drive increased healthcare costs, exacerbating problems for patients, payers, providers, and society. Identified below are behavioral health conditions across all age demographics that account for the majority of cost expenditures to health plans in the United States: Another costly aspect of the behavioral health conditions discussed is that they are rarely present without other comorbidities.2 While evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety, and substance abuse are cost-effective long-term, a significant proportion of patients with these conditions also have other behavioral health or physical health conditions requiring additional assessment, diagnostic evaluations, and appropriate treatments. This can make it challenging to effectively manage patients’ full health needs. To address these discrepancies in treatment care and cost, healthcare organizations must formulate a plan to prevent and successfully treat these issues. An integrated behavioral health strategy would create essential improvements in patient care and outcomes, and health plans would benefit simultaneously.
