IlliniCare Health announced a new initiative that will aim to support people with mental health conditions by further integrating mental and physical health care. Leveraging Quartet Health’s technology and services, IlliniCare Health will support mental health and primary care providers at the local level to help ensure members — including those with mental health conditions that have historically been unaddressed — get the right care at the right time. This effort is an extension of IlliniCare Health’s commitment to focus on improving the health of the community by addressing the whole health of individuals, one patient at a time. IlliniCare Health is continually implementing its innovative strategy to address mental health and provide support for substance abuse disorders among Medicaid beneficiaries. With Quartet’s technology and services, IlliniCare Health will: 

● Better identify members with mental health conditions. Primary care physicians and mental health providers will receive information through proprietary algorithms that will identify members with underlying mental health conditions.

● Connect members to personalized mental health care and treatment options. The partnership will offer providers resources to help them refer members to an extended network of trusted mental health providers and tools to help members with psychiatric and medication management needs.

● Build coordinated care teams. Primary care physicians and mental health providers get to collaborate with one another on treatment plans through Quartet’s easy-to-use HIPAA-compliant platform.
