One out of five American adults suffer a mental illness each year. Yet, the gap for quality psychiatric care is wide, with only nine psychiatrists per 100,000 people and no psychiatric physicians in 60% of U.S. counties. That gap widens in rural to mid-size communities where practicing psychiatrists are even rarer. Lynk Behavioral Services help you fill that gap. Through the use of our proprietary platform, Lynk Connect, our multidisciplinary care team utilizes virtual communication and other telehealth tools to streamline diagnosis and treatment for residents.

Medicare’s Behavior Health Integration (BHI) is a type of care management service aimed at improving outcomes for patients with mental or behavioral health conditions.

Chronic care management (CCM) services are generally non-face-to-face services provided to Medicare beneficiaries who have multiple (two or more) chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months, or until the death of the patient.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recognizes that CCM services are critical components of primary care that promote better health and reduce overall health care costs.

Remote Patient Monitoring, also known as remote physiologic monitoring (RPM), is the use of technologies to gather biometrics like blood pressure, weight, oxygen saturation, pulse, and blood sugar levels. That information is electronically transferred to your care team.

As needed, you will be able to recommend early interventions instead of always reacting to crashes. RPM allows for objective data to supplement your understanding, and allow for the patient’s best care.

Transitional Care Management (TCM) is a medicare program designed to help patients successfully transition back to a community setting after a stay in certain facility types. The care provided is interactive and informative giving the patient the greatest chance at a successful transition home.

There is a 30 day window for this care that begins the day of discharge and continues for the 29 days following. The care team must reach out within two business days to begin the care.
