Introducing the Network: What and Why

What is the BHP Referral Network?

• Behavioral Healthcare Providers (BHP) Referral Network drives value for patients by connecting them to outpatient behavioral health resources. This Referral Network is made up of Providers across the Midwest who have an interest in receiving referrals for patients. Patient referrals to resources in this network primarily come from MHealth Fairview Emergency Department, Primary Care Clinics, and other hospitals. BHP is a division of MHealth Fairview.
• The BHP Referral Network is a triple win for the community for collaboration to meet patient’s needs.
  • Beneficial for patients to have mental health appointments set up shortly after ED discharge.
  • For our staff working in EDs and Hospitals across the Midwest, we have additional community resources and options for our patients. Our staff can match patients to providers based on appointment type, insurance, location, and provider specialties.
• Clinics and providers will grow their practice by caring for our patients and provide much needed care.
