Mental Health Network
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services
Mental Health Network (MHNet) is the Behavioral Health Organization chosen to provide
mental health and substance abuse services to Universal Health Care members. MHNet
has provided mental health and substance abuse services to members throughout the
State of Florida for over a decade . MHNet holds full Accreditation with both NCQA
and the American HealthCare Commission/URAC under its Health Utilization Management
(UM) standards.
Continuity of care is vital to MHNet and Primary Care Physicians play a crucial
role in this process. To increase the coordination of care between Behavioral Health
Practitioners and Medical Practitioners, we fax the member’s treatment record to
the PCP, with the member’s signed consent, to inform the PCP of the member’s prescribed
medications and treatment issues. When a member requires hospitalization due to
a mental health or substance abuse disorder, MHNet’s Case Managers notify the PCP
of the member’s hospitalization via letter. MHNet informs the PCP of the member’s
admitting diagnosis and provides information regarding how to contact the member’s
attending psychiatrist as well as the member’s assigned Case Manager, a licensed
Clinician, who can assist the PCP by providing valuable clinical information.
MHNet recognizes there are times when the PCP requires direct assistance in accessing
members’ mental health and substance abuse benefits and services. MHNet Case Managers
are available to assist PCPs with coordinating appropriate care for members. MHNet
Case Managers may be reached by calling (800) 835-2094. Please ask to speak directly
with a Case Manager. MHNet Case Managers are also available 24 hours a day for emergency
services.
Physician Referral is NOT Required
