Watch Sessions From BHT2024

Value-based care is often discussed in behavioral health, but few have cracked the code on how to structure contracts that truly drive better patient outcomes. This session goes beyond the theory to explore how to design value-based contracts that align incentives across payors, providers, and health systems—ensuring patients receive the right level of care at the right time. This expert panel will walk through the key elements of value-based agreements, including how to define the right patient populations, activate them effectively, and set meaningful quality benchmarks—without getting lost in overcomplicated metrics. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we’ll explore how behavioral health leaders can build scalable, flexible contracts that improve access, engagement, and collaboration between payors and providers. Whether you’re looking to transition from fee-for-service or refine existing value-based partnerships, this discussion will provide the high-level strategic insights you need to create sustainable, outcome-driven mental health care models.
