PacifiCare Behavioral Health is committed to ensuring that
behavioral health care is well coordinated among PBH practitioners
when more than one practitioner is involved in a member's
care. When the member is receiving behavioral health care
from a non-prescribing behavioral health provider and psychotropic
medication from a network psychiatrist, appropriate information
should be shared between them in a timely fashion.
PBH providers should use their own patient consent forms
to obtain permission to share information with other behavioral
health practitioners.
