In this model the behavioral health provider (often called a Behavioral Health Consultant or BHC) is a fully integrated member of the primary care practice and functions as a consultant to patients as well as to practice team members.

When more traditional services are needed, they are referred to a âspecialty mental health providerâ. Regardless of the terms, the field of mental health is slowly moving to incorporate a medical and social perspective. Conversely, the field of medicine is also adopting a more social and medical viewpoint of most disorders.
