Care Management Services
The Integrated Care Management Program (ICMP) is a program to help Members learn more ways to care for their medical, mental health and/or substance use disorders. Staff will work with you or your
caregiver on a one-to-one basis to help you:
- Learn more about your health
- Get answers to questions between doctor's visits
- Understand your doctor's plan for you; and
- Choose the care that's best for you.
The ICMP team is here to help you live your healthiest life! To learn more, call
1-800-495-0086, Ext. 454165.
Care Coordination is a process that reviews the care you are receiving to make sure it is the best care for you. Care Coordination also helps to coordinate both behavioral health and medical services for Members who require both. Care Coordination aims to prevent a decline in your health condition.

Crisis Planning Tools
MBHP offers a set of Crisis Planning Tools for Families. This consists of the Safety Plan, the Advance Communication to Treatment Provider, and Supplements to the Safety Plan and Advance Communication. These tools may be used by families/individuals as well as by providers working together with families.
The Safety Plan allows families/individuals to identify, before a crisis, their own goals and action steps to take when a crisis happens. The Advance Communication to Treatment Provider tool allows families/individuals to communicate what is important to them and their family in writing to providers, who might provide future crisis support and intervention. The Supplements to the Safety Plan and Advance Communication consist of four pre-formatted documents. These documents help families/individuals summarize important information for treatment agencies that can be difficult or time consuming to remember in a crisis situation. These four documents are: Summary of Medical Information; Personal Demographic Information; Summary of Prior Treatment; and Summary of Current Services, School, and/or Work.

Self-Help Programs
People who receive services for mental health and/or substance use disorders, sometimes known as
"peers" or "consumers," can help each other with recovery. Examples of peer support offered through MBHP include:
Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA): DRA follows a 12-step program to support people in recovery from mental health and substance use disorders. Like other Anonymous meetings, DRA meetings involve sharing experiences and focusing on strengths, hope, and recovery.
Peer Support in Aftercare: Peers living and working in the community are available to assist those being discharged from the hospital with their transition back to the community.
Peer-Run Provider Training: Consumers in recovery train providers on how they can include the principles of rehabilitation and recovery in their programs and services.
The Massachusetts Leadership Academy: Consumers share their recovery experiences, learn leadership skills, and plan community service projects.
For questions about these programs or other services, please call the MBHP
