Contact information for healthcare professionals participating in a managed behavioral healthcare plan (MBHP) is essential for patients, referring physicians, and other stakeholders. This information typically includes a telephone number that allows direct communication with the provider’s office or a designated contact person. As an example, a patient needing to schedule an appointment with a participating therapist would require this specific piece of data.
Ready access to this type of professional’s telephone contact offers several advantages. It facilitates efficient scheduling, allows for prompt clarification of treatment-related queries, and supports coordination of care among different healthcare providers. Historically, accessing this information could be cumbersome, often requiring multiple phone calls or manual searching through directories. The availability of streamlined resources has significantly improved accessibility.
