>"Just like cancer or diabetes, mental illness is a devastating disease that impacts millions. We believe disease management and coordination of care programs that leverage health care information, technology and education are a viable option to manage rising health care costs rather than limiting patients' access to vital medications and treatments," said Alex M. Azar II, vice president of business-to-business, LillyUSA.

Lilly provides financial support for the initiative, with the operation and implementation of the program being done solely by the states and CNS. If the state decides to share data with Lilly, the data is blinded and aggregated and does not contain information about individual patients or providers. In addition, Lilly has sought approval and received support from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for these initiatives. The BPM is entirely voluntary for physicians. All decisions regarding treatment and medications are made privately between the physician and the patient and are completely individualized.
