MCG Behavioral Health Care
Laura Muncy, RN, the Team Lead for Utilization Management at Riverside Health, a 560-bed hospital in Virginia, discusses the value of MCG Behavioral Health Care guidelines to her psychiatric-mental health nursing team. Benefits include consistent parity between psychiatric and medical-surgical care; level of care decisions (inpatient, residential, partial hospital, intensive outpatient, and outpatient care); alignment with ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) guidelines; and supporting appropriate payment from health plans. In addition, hospital psychiatric doctors find MCG Behavioral Health Care guidelines highly supportive in peer-to-peer (P2P reviews) discussions.
