A board-certified psychiatrist, Dr. Toney founded Health Integrated in 1996 in response to the growing need for sophisticated care management systems that address both the medical and behavioral health issues affecting patient care. He has served as the National Medical Director for a large managed behavioral health organization and has developed a chain of outpatient mental health centers and both multi-specialty IPA and Primary Care Networks throughout the country. These experiences reinforced his belief that the separation of medical and behavioral care leads to less than optimal clinical outcomes and results in higher costs for payers. The integration of medical and behavioral care to achieve high-quality clinical care at reduced costs is at the core of the Health Integrated philosophy. Dr. Toney is licensed to practice medicine in over 20 states and is board certified in Psychiatry as well as in Utilization Review and Quality Assurance.
