Our integrated behavioral health model provides a wide range of mental health services in conjunction with primary care to optimize mind-body health. Services include outpatient care, adult psychiatric services, pediatric psychiatric services, substance use treatment, and residential programs.
What is Integrated Health Care?
Integrated health care means that we care for you as a whole person—providing services for physical conditions and mental health, as well as preventative medicine. We provide services for the entire family and offer care for people of all ages and medical or behavioral needs. Our integrated approach delivers a more efficient experience and improves continuity of care.
What is a Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC)?
Banyan Primary Care Centers have been named Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) status by The U.S. Dept of Health Resources and Services Administration. Through this designation and funding we are able to provide primary care services in medically underserved areas in Miami-Dade and Broward County.
Federally Qualified Health Centers must meet a strict set of requirements, including providing care on a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay and operating under a governing board that includes patients. Health centers are community-based organizations that deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care services to the community’s most vulnerable individuals and families, including people experiencing homelessness, agricultural workers, residents of public housing, and veterans.
If you are uninsured or under-insured, we can help through our sliding scale program. We can help regardless of your financial situation or immigration status. We also accept both Medicare and Medicaid for family care services.
What is a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH)?
This designation is only awarded by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to community health centers that meet the highest standards of quality primary care. This approach to healthcare strengthens your relationship with your personal physician and improves the quality of care you receive by providing:
A Team Approach
Physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, care managers, and nutrition experts work together to make sure that you get the right care at the right time.
Improved Access
Same and next-day appointments, telephone care, evening office hours, after-hours phone access, and secure email communication with your provider makes it easier for you to get what you need.
Electronic Health Records
Secure technology and access to your health records allow you and your team to communicate more easily about matters that concern you.
Better Care Coordination
Your providers will work closely with your trusted specialists and hospitals to make sure that your entire health care team is working together to provide you with high-quality care.
