Behavioral Health Toolkits

Magellan has provided two behavioral health toolkits – one for general behavioral health and the other for postpartum depression – to help you guide patients toward appropriate care when needed.

Many times, a primary care physician is the first person a member goes to when they have a problem. As such, our behavioral health partner, Magellan HealthSM, provides toolkits to help you guide your patients to appropriate care.

Primary Care Physician (PCP) Toolkit
Magellan’s Medical Providers’ Behavioral Health Toolkit gives medical practitioners the information and screening tools needed to assist in making behavioral health referrals.

Postpartum Depression Toolkit
It’s important to note that postpartum depression is potentially serious and sometimes life-threatening. The Texas Clinician’s Postpartum Depression Toolkit is intended to be a resource for Texas clinicians on screening, diagnosis and treatment of postpartum depression.

These toolkits and other behavioral health information can be found on our website at bcbstx.com/provider.
