Value-Based Contracting
The OPEN MINDS 2024 Innovation Survey reveals that the biggest increase in value-based contracting was in care coordination models. By 2025, over 60% of healthcare payments will be tied to performance-based incentives, with behavioral health playing a key role. Every behavioral health provider needs the know-how to participate in value-based arrangements. Our value-based contracting resources offer the opportunity to optimize participation and performance in value-based arrangements including knowledge and information exchange about best practices for successful collaborations, contract negotiations, reimbursement valuations, member engagement, metric management, and more.
