Diabetes & Behavioral & Psychological

Behavioral & Psychological

Behavioral and psychological conditions—including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar spectrum disorders, substance use, somatic symptom disorders, and suicidality—commonly occur alongside chronic diseases such as diabetes and other metabolic conditions. Left unrecognized, they magnify risks: patients are more likely to fall, miss medications, and rely on emergency care instead of preventive services. By testing for these conditions with validated, reimbursable assessments and following through with timely treatment or referral—including innovative options like Spravato® (esketamine) therapy and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant depression—providers can improve adherence, reduce complications, and strengthen long-term outcomes.

Early identification and management not only protect patients but also reduce costs and enhance the overall quality of care.

Screen six (6) connected conditions and suicidality in minutes, document automatically, close care gaps, and keep care under your roof.

Comprehensive Behavioral Health

The Behavioral Health screening was originally designed for clinical use, allowing primary care doctors, internal medicine, family practice, OBGYN and Pediatric providers the ability to get a dashboard of their patients mental health before they walk in the exam room. This enables them to ask more specific, personalized questions that help patients receive elevated care. If providers present psych testing as a standard part of whole-patient care (like blood pressure or A1C), stigma drops and patients are more open.

Anxiety Disorders
Identifies generalized anxiety, panic, and related conditions that can worsen diabetes management, adherence, and cardiovascular risk if untreated.
Depression
Detects major depressive disorder and subclinical depression, which commonly co-occur with chronic disease and are linked to poor self-care, hospitalization, and increased mortality.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Screens for inattentive, hyperactive, or combined presentations that often persist into adulthood and interfere with medication adherence, follow-up, and chronic care management.
Substance Use Disorders
Flags risk or presence of alcohol, prescription, or illicit substance misuse, all of which elevate complication rates and increase acute care utilization in patients with diabetes and other chronic conditions.
Bipolar Spectrum Disorders
Differentiates bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic presentations that are frequently misdiagnosed as depression, guiding appropriate referral and medication strategies.
Somatic Symptom Disorder
Identifies patterns of excessive concern about physical symptoms—often overlapping with real chronic disease—that complicate treatment plans and drive unnecessary costs if unmanaged.
Suicidality Risk
Assesses both passive and active suicidal thoughts or behaviors, providing critical alerts for immediate clinical action and safety planning.

4 in 5 People Who Attempt Suicide Saw a PCP in The Prior Year But Were Never Screened.

Screen with 8 randomized questions (1 minute, 96.4% NPP). Automatically Tests, if risks are flagged, smart branching logic runs targeted modules in 3 minutes.

Positioning for Primary Care

Integrates with chronic-care visit flow, AWV follow-ups, diabetes visits, neuropathy evaluations, and fall-risk reviews.
Captures reimbursable assessments you are likely referring out today, while creating clearer next steps for in-house treatment or referral.

Benefits for your practice

Clinical: Earlier detection of anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, bipolar spectrum, and somatic symptom patterns that complicate diabetes care.
Operational: Standardized documentation that supports medical necessity and closes care gaps tied to quality measures.
Financial: Eligible CPT and HCPCS pathways for screening and, when appropriate, extended testing or collaborative care, subject to payer policy.

Clinical Workflow

Screen: Patients complete standardized digital questionnaires in-clinic or remotely.
Score and document: Results are scored and summarized with risk flags and documentation to support medical decision-making.
Act: Use in-visit counseling, referral, or follow-up plans; add collaborative care or psychotherapy when indicated.

Standard Implementation

Many clients choose to use our Behavioral Health Assessment tool as part of their existing practice workflow. With a standard implementation, the results of the assessments are easily imported to your EHR.
