Integrated Behavioral Health Services
Integrated Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) offers a coordinated approach to care by combining primary care and behavioral health providers to address physical and mental health needs. With over 30% of adults in the United States facing mental health challenges, there is an ongoing demand for accessible care. However, acting as a psychiatric care provider in an already busy medical role adds to the stress of time management and treatment challenges for a primary care provider (PCP).
Integrated behavioral health services, like FasPsych’s telepsychiatry services, help primary care practices meet growing mental health demands without overburdening physicians. Leveraging integrated behavioral health services in your primary care practice can mitigate risk, relieve clinicians’ workload, and improve patient care.
Telepsychiatry Lifts the Burden of Care from PCPs
In a fully integrated model, behavioral health professionals work alongside PCPs to address mental health conditions as part of a patient’s routine care. This can include same-day consults, shared treatment plans, and direct collaboration between providers.
Telepsychiatry can be used to integrate a psychiatrist or APRN into a PCP practice to fulfill essential mental health care needs. Video conferencing allows the PCP to immediately connect to a psychiatrist or other psychiatric professional for consultation, ultimately leading to more effective patient care.
FasPsych providers can support patients facing:
- Depression and anxiety
- Substance use disorders
- ADHD and pediatric behavioral concerns
- PTSD and trauma-related conditions
- Serious mental illness (SMI)
- Medication management and follow-up needs

Scheduling
When your primary care team determines a psychiatric evaluation is necessary, they can initiate a consult by placing an order in your EHR and contacting FasPsych. Our team quickly coordinates scheduling, ensuring a smooth and timely connection between your clinic and an available provider.
Evaluations
A FasPsych provider conducts the psychiatric consult via telepsychiatry or in-person, assessing the patient’s condition and providing recommendations for treatment. Our licensed psychiatrists and clinicians specialize in evaluating a wide range of mental health concerns, ensuring personalized, high-quality care. If you need a full-time or part-time in-person mental health professional in your office, we offer staffing solutions by request.
