Those step-in sites are being set up under the umbrella of both UHS\u2019 local health systems as well as with the Thousand Branches Wellness brand. Last year, the company opened Thousand Branches sites in office settings in California, Illinois, Minnesota and Texas and it has added another handful this year. Thousand Branches also markets virtual treatment options in Hawaii, Missouri and South Carolina. (See the map on the right.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The sites aren\u2019t a massive investment\u2014it costs UHS between $1 million and $2 million to build out and staff a step-in clinic\u2014and Filton said that his teams benefit from newly dedicated clinical and sales teams as well as the company typically being an in-network provider with strong referral relationships in most of its markets. That\u2019s helping to position UHS as a more streamlined option to outpatient behavioral care being delivered in hospital emergency rooms, urgent-care centers or other clinics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cA number of the managed care companies say [\u2026] behavioral utilization broadly and nationally is up across the board. A lot of that seems to be on the outpatient side. And I think that\u2019s being delivered in a very [\u2026] fragmented way,\u201d Filton said on UHS\u2019 third-quarter earnings conference call. \u201cWe think we can do a better job of capturing more of that outpatient activity through, frankly, better focus as well as new and additional dedicated outpatient facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Growing UHS\u2019 outpatient business is a key plank to executives\u2019 broader goal of pushing the growth of overall behavioral volumes from the 1.3 percent it was in the third quarter to close to 2 percent by the middle of next year. In all, UHS registered more than 4.8 million patient days in the three months that ended on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To cater to those patients, the UHS team plans to open about a dozen freestanding facilities annually \u201cfor the next several years,\u201d Filton said.
