Evernorth Launches Behavioral Health Measurement-Based Care Program 

Evernorth Health Services is offering a measurement-based care program for its behavioral health network, which represents the company’s first step in active collaboration with provider organizations. The goal of the new value-based program is to align provider organizations and payers on treatment measures that can drive improvements in care, cost, and collaboration, and lessen administrative burden on provider organizations.  

Evernorth, a subsidiary of the health insurer Cigna, said it will work with more than 44,000 behavioral health professionals on the initial launch. It plans to expand that number over time. Participating professionals include behavioral health coaches . . .
