Value Based Care in Behavioral Health
Sample Text
We know value-based care is coming for behavioral health, but shouldn’t it be here already? I am not talking about how mental health providers are reimbursed, but rather why they are not included in the value-based contracts currently in place for Accountable Care Organizations (ACO), Medicare Shared Savings Models, or similar initiatives. How can you effect better outcomes while not accounting for the effects of anxiety and depression? Many more ACOs are recognizing this duality every day, and for the better.
