Making Your Case for Integration to a Payor: Insights from Missouri

This learning session explored how primary care and behavioral health providers and/or networks of providers can make the case for a payor (e.g., a Medicaid plan or a Medicaid agency) to support closer collaboration and integration of primary care and behavioral health services and payments (e.g., data sharing infrastructure investments, care management and coordination payments, performance payments, shared savings, etc.).

This session for the Delta Center for a Thriving Safety Net featured two Delta Center alumni grantees: Joe Pierle, CEO of the Missouri Primary Care Association, and Brent McGinty, CEO of the Missouri Behavioral Health Council. Both discussed the challenges and strategies they are employing to engage payors in similar conversations.
