What can the MBHR do for you?

  • Meet reporting requirements for MIPS eligible clinicians.
  • Increase Medicare reimbursement by effectively tracking quality and reporting outcomes for MIPS all in one place.
  • Drive performance growth through attacking gaps in care (PDF, 592KB)opens in new window.
  • Provide unique measures that are meaningful to mental and behavioral health practitioners and those we serve.
  • Collect patient-reported outcomes that can be used to improve care (e.g., provide rapid feedback, allow for benchmarking).
  • Provide evidence to negotiate with other value-based reimbursement payment programs (i.e., pay-for-performance).

Meaningful measures

The MBHR includes approximately 14 MIPS identified measures and five specialty measures, exclusive to the MBHR, that can be submitted directly to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It is the only registry that includes measures to screen for anxiety disorders and report anxiety disorder treatment response. It also includes measures related to impaired functioning, such as PTSD outcome assessment for adults, and trauma screening. There is also a quality process measure specifically for neuropsychology.

Comprehensive, user-friendly software, and experienced support

The MBHR uses real-time dashboards, identifying and responding to the data you capture to boost your reimbursement. The team at Healthmonix will guide you through the outcome tracking and reporting process from start to finish, with data integration (PDF, 680KB)opens in new window that reduces reporting burden.

Seamless integration with TherapyNotes™opens in new window makes it easier than ever to maximize your outcomes and revenue.
