2024 Health Meeting - Session 7D: Mental Health—Hot Topics 6.25.24 Recording

Mental health and VBC have individually been buzzwords within the health community for many years, but rarely together. In this ‘ask the expert’ forum nothing is off limits, but these scintillating topics are a guarantee: unabated demand for mental health services post-pandemic, decreasing provider supply, rising provider burnout, access to care, management of chronic conditions, & medical/behavioral integration concepts including data fragmentation. A panel of experts including a practicing psychologist, MH/SA VBC lead, and health actuaries are ready to share thought-provoking insights on innovative methodologies improving how we treat, analyze, and measure behavioral health outcomes such as value-based care, quality metrics, and alternative modalities of care. At the conclusion of this session, attendees will have a better understanding of mental health VBC concepts, challenges faced by current MH/SA providers, and what it means for the actuary. Join us!
