questions and answers about
behavioral health clinics
What is a Behavioral Health Clinic?
How is treatment conducted?
A Behavioral Health Clinic (BHC) is an integrated speciality
clinic that provides services to children, adolescents and
their families for developmental, behavioral, emotional,
social and academic issues. A BHC is a cooperative effort
between your physician and the Psychology Department at
the the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s MunroeMeyer Institute (MMI) in Omaha.
Usually, both the child and parents attend all sessions. During
the first session, parents are interviewed to determine the
nature of the issue and a potential course of treatment.
Additional sessions are usually scheduled weekly or every
other week. The number of additional sessions depends on
the nature and severity of the issue, but between five and
10 visits is common.
Who operates the clinics?
Will my health insurance cover it?
Services at BHCs are provided by faculty, staff, and students
from MMI who are specially trained in behavioral pediatric
psychology. Clinical services are supervised by licensed
psychologists.
Services at a BHC are covered under the mental health
portion of most insurance plans, including Medicaid. If you
are not sure about coverage, contact your insurance carrier
or the benefits office at your place of employment and ask
about your coverage. Individuals seen at a BHC are registered
as patients in the Munroe-Meyer Institute system, which is
responsible for all billing and record management.
What kind of issues or conditions are seen at MMI’s Behavioral Health Clinics?

"Our three-year-old daughter had no regard for her own
safety, didn’t listen, wouldn’t follow instructions and
thus had to be attended to at all times. The disruptive
behaviors sent us into a spiraling frustration.
The behavioral therapist with the
Munroe-Meyer Institute was able to
provide us with treatment options.
It was an enormous relief that gave
us the glimmer of hope we needed.
The therapist, who practiced out of our pediatrician’s
office, taught us how to communicate with our daughter. Once we implemented the tools she suggested, we
could see changes in our daughter’s behavior almost
immediately. It’s been life-changing. Our daughter is a
happy little girl again."
