EOHHS has recently posted updated information regarding the mental health screening initiative on its site. It appears to be a quite user-friendly resource which should be useful for getting answers and clarification regarding many aspects of this initiative including: 1) information regarding the screening instruments, 2) billing guidelines, 3) resources for helping to figure out what do after behavioral health needs are identified (including MCPAP!). It also has some interesting discussion regarding why screening is important, and strategies for overcoming barriers to implementation. Definitely worth taking a look and bookmarking the site. BDS
