The Behavioral Health Optimization Program (BHOP) integrates behavioral health personnel into primary care clinics. Issues such as compounding stress can lead to depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or general anxiety disorders. Beneficiaries with behavioral health concerns can seek care directly through their primary care manager. BHOP consultations typically do not require more than four visits. A BHOP appointment lasts about 25 minutes and patients leave with some form of same-day intervention. BHOP is available at 72 of the 76 Air Force military treatment facilities. The program is open to all military beneficiaries and walk-ins are accepted. BHOP does not require a referral. To schedule a BHOP appointment, call the appointment line.
