Integrated Care Plans
What is Integrated Care?
Integrated care is a collaborative, patient-centered approach that coordinates various healthcare services to address a person’s physical, mental, and social needs for comprehensive well-being.
CBH has created several tip sheets to help you understand a variety of health conditions and how they may impact your behavioral health treatment. These documents were developed in partnership with collaborating providers and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Medicaid MCOs that participate in the HealthChoices and Community HealthChoices programs.

The clinical services described in these tip sheets may not be covered for all CBH enrollees.

Cardiovascular Monitoring for Members with Behavioral Health Conditions
Cardiovascular Monitoring for Members with Behavioral Health Conditions
If you have cardiovascular disease and a behavioral health condition, it is important to monitor your cardiovascular disease regularly. One way to do this is to get a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) test at least once a year.
Diabetes Care for Members with Behavioral Health Conditions
If you have a behavioral health condition and diabetes (type 1 or type 2), you should check that your HbA1c is under control by having an HbA1c test performed. Check your HbA1c level to prevent serious diabetes complications, such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, and kidney disease.
Diabetes Screening for Members with Behavioral Health Conditions Who Take Medications
Diabetes Monitoring for Members with Behavioral Health Conditions Who Take Medications
People with diabetes are 2 to 3 times more likely to have heart problems (cardiovascular disease) or a stroke. Diabetes may also increase the risk of kidney disease. Because medications for your behavioral health conditions may increase the risks associated with diabetes, it’s important to check your diabetes regularly.

What is an Integrated Care Plan?
An Integrated Care Plan (ICP) is a comprehensive document that lists your physical and behavioral health information in one place, making it easier to manage your care.
Created by your physical and behavioral health insurance carriers and treatment providers, an ICP helps ensure everyone involved in your care can better communicate and coordinate your treatment.
If you are a CBH Provider, click here to learn more about Integrated Care Plans.
ICPs may include the following information:
- Your physical and behavioral health history, including diagnoses, utilized services, prescribed medications, and treatment goals
- Contact information for each member of your care team, including physicians, therapists, case managers, and social workers.
- Information about important non-medical factors that impact your health, including your housing, transportation, job, safety, food, and childcare needs.
- Next steps your care team can take to assist you in your treatment plan.
ICPs are voluntary, and you can decide what information is shared in the CBH ICP Consent Form.
Who is Eligible for an ICP?
To be eligible for an ICP, you must be a CBH member who is:
- An adult between 18-64 years old
- Diagnosed with a Serious and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI)
How Can I Get an ICP?
If you don’t have an ICP and would like one created for you, please contact your provider to get started. For more information about ICPs, please email CBH.ICP@phila.gov or call CBH Member Services at 888-545-2600.
