About this Event
Leaders from Carelon Behavioral Health and Kaiser Permanente discussed findings from a national survey of health plan practices for managing behavioral health benefits. Drawing on these insights, the conversation explored how plans are expanding access through non-traditional care models, advancing measurement and accountability for outcomes, and evolving care delivery and payment models to better manage total cost of care.
This webinar is designed as an executive-level discussion examining the evolving behavioral health landscape and its implications for health plan strategy and operations.
