Fragmented care delivery remains a critical barrier to improving health care outcomes and costs. True value-based care requires a whole-person approach that integrates all aspects of health. In this panel, we will explore how health plans can strategically align behavioral health within value-based frameworks by: Structuring value-based payment models that support behavioral health integration as a core component of total cost of care Leveraging advanced analytics to identify behavioral and physical health comorbidities and streamline their coordination Reducing fragmentation through streamlined, integrated care delivery models Demonstrating cost avoidance through in-home interventions that reduce unnecessary emergency department utilization for chronic conditions
