Primary care and behavioral health
Nice piece on 2/14! So important to integrate this effectively. Long way to go, but value based payment incentives need to structured to strengthen.
Love the show - very accessible, and great research highlighted!
I’m a huge fan of this show - appreciate the accessibility of the podcast for those who might not have budget for an HA subscription. Really appreciate the diversity of guests and topics covered.
I know this research base is more limited than populations of Medicare Advantage enrollees, but would love to see some highlighting of studies and research that HA has published around Medicaid managed care plans and enrollees (or health plan enterprises’ large scale approaches to serving their various state markets). Thank you!
