Integrated Psychiatric Care

Value-Based Psychiatric Care Across Florida

Elevate Psychiatry embeds board-certified psychiatric services directly into primary care settings — bridging the gap between medical and behavioral health to improve patient outcomes across 75,000+ patient lives in Florida.

The Behavioral Health Gap in Primary Care

Nearly 70% of primary care visits involve a behavioral health component — yet most primary care organizations lack the psychiatric infrastructure to address it. The result: fragmented care, higher costs, increased emergency utilization, and patients falling through the cracks between medical and behavioral health systems.

Elevate Psychiatry was built to close that gap. As a physician-led psychiatric practice, we embed our clinicians directly into primary care environments, creating a seamless, integrated care experience that serves both the medical and psychiatric needs of patients — under one roof.

Our Integrated Care Model

Elevate Psychiatry's value-based care model is designed around a simple premise: psychiatric care works best when it's integrated into the primary care workflow, not siloed outside of it. Our approach combines in-person embedded clinicians with statewide virtual psychiatric services, ensuring every patient has access regardless of geography.

In-Person Embedded Services

Board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners work on-site within partner primary care centers. Patients receive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and follow-up care without leaving their medical home. Warm handoffs from PCP to psychiatrist happen in real time.

Virtual Psychiatric Coverage

For partner locations without on-site psychiatric staff, Elevate provides virtual psychiatry services across the entire state of Florida. Patients connect with our clinicians via secure telehealth, maintaining continuity of care with their primary care team through shared EHR access and coordinated treatment plans.

Measurement-Based Care

Every patient encounter is guided by validated clinical measures — PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, and condition-specific tools. We track outcomes longitudinally, enabling data-driven treatment adjustments and transparent reporting to our health system partners.

Current Integrated Care Programs

Cano Health — 50,000 Patient Lives

Elevate Psychiatry serves as the psychiatric care partner for Cano Health across South Florida, providing integrated behavioral health services to approximately 50,000 patient lives. Our clinicians are embedded in approximately 15 Cano Health centers throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties, delivering in-person psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing follow-up care.

For Cano Health locations beyond our physical presence, we extend coverage through virtual psychiatric services — ensuring every patient in the network has access to board-certified psychiatric care, regardless of which center they visit.

Centerwell Senior Primary Care (Humana) — 25,000 Patient Lives

In partnership with Centerwell Senior Primary Care, a Humana subsidiary, Elevate Psychiatry provides psychiatric coverage for approximately 25,000 Medicare Advantage patients across the Orlando metro area. Our clinicians are currently integrated into 3 Centerwell centers, with active expansion underway to 7 locations.

This partnership focuses on the unique psychiatric needs of the senior population — including late-life depression, anxiety, cognitive concerns, medication interactions, and the behavioral components of chronic disease management. By embedding psychiatric expertise within Centerwell's primary care model, we help reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency department utilization among this vulnerable population.

What Makes This Model Work

Physician-Led Practice

Founded and led by a board-certified psychiatrist, Elevate maintains the highest clinical standards. Our leadership understands both the clinical complexities of psychiatric care and the operational demands of value-based arrangements.

Flexible Deployment

Whether you need on-site embedded psychiatrists, virtual coverage, or a hybrid model, we configure our services to match your care delivery structure. We scale up or down based on patient volume and acuity.

Risk-Aligned Incentives

We participate in shared savings, quality bonus, and capitated arrangements. Our financial incentives are aligned with yours: better outcomes, lower costs, higher patient satisfaction.

Proven Scalability

From 3 locations to 15+, from 25,000 to 50,000 lives — we have demonstrated the ability to scale rapidly while maintaining quality. Our operational infrastructure supports multi-site, multi-market expansion across Florida.

Comprehensive Service Line

Our clinicians deliver the full spectrum of outpatient psychiatric care: evaluations, medication management, therapy, genetic testing, and advanced treatments including Spravato (esketamine) and TMS.

Bilingual Care

Serving South Florida's diverse population requires cultural competency. Our team provides psychiatric services in both English and Spanish, removing language barriers that often prevent patients from accessing behavioral health care.
