Alera Health To Present Value-Based Webinar For OPEN MINDS Circle Members

Gettysburg, Pa. (December 3, 2023) OPEN MINDS announced today an upcoming webinar focused on the essentials for value-based contracting (VBC) for behavioral health provider organizations and sponsored by Alera Health. The virtual, live webinar, will be held on December 12, 2023 from 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. EST on the OPEN MINDS platform.

This webinar, titled Value-Based Care for Behavioral Health Providers – How to Stand Out in a Crowded Landscape will focus on the basic underpinnings of value-based contracting for behavioral health provider execs, essentially what every CEO, COO, CFO needs to know to evaluate value-based agreements and if the agreement is a favorable one. Paul Uncanin, Alera Health’s VP of Payer Contracting, will bring his tenyear experience in building, developing, and managing provider networks and provider agreements to this informative and useful seminar. OPEN MINDS Senior Associate, Carol D. Clayton, PhD, will also facilitate the webinar.

Behavioral health providers are new to the table in value-based arrangements, says Mr. Uncanin. “Many behavioral health organizations have not yet tipped their toe in to the value-based waters and are often not familiar with the basic business tenets of these arrangements.  I will walk the audience through the winning components of value-based agreements – what are the essential elements for contracting success, and moreover, how to participate, even for smaller agencies. 

I am delighted to be hosting this webinar”, says Dr. Clayton. The Alera ONEcare model offers a unique and vital way for behavioral health nonprofits to join together in collective strength to drive value-based contracts. Alera Health’s VBC approach can accelerate these opportunities for behavioral health agencies. 

Specific topics to be covered, include: 

  • How can I participate in a clinically integrated network? 
  • What is member attribution? 
  • What are proper reconciliation time frames? 
  • What is medical loss ratio and how do I contribute as a behavioral health provider? 

Join us on December 12th, 2023 from 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. EST to learn more about how you can stand out in a crowded landscape.
