Mental healthcare is evolving beyond the traditional private-practice and insurance models.
Clinicians are increasingly encountering new forms of healthcare delivery, including vertical integration, value-based care, larger healthcare organizations, employer-sponsored care, and other emerging models.
We provide clear education about how these models work and what they can mean for clinicians.
Topics may include:
Understanding vertical integration
Exploring value-based care models
Understanding how larger healthcare organizations structure clinical services
Evaluating new approaches to delivering and reimbursing mental healthcare
Understanding potential opportunities and limitations of emerging models
Considering how different models may affect clinical autonomy, compensation, workflow, and patient care
Identifying questions to ask before entering into a new model or partnership
We don't believe every new model is either the solution or the problem. We believe clinicians need enough information to evaluate the trade-offs for themselves.
