IMHPA offers three $20 introduction points that invite mental health professionals to enroll, enjoy IMHPA’s excellent marketing and technology resources and prepare for future healthy group contracts. It may be a long runway, IMHPA wants its independent members ready to soar.
IMHPA is committed to supporting mental health professionals and to continuing its advocacy for healthy contracts. The future of mental and behavioral health services includes commercial and publicly funded payment contracts developed in various value-based-payment (VBP) modes. Fee-for-service contracts will diminish as VBP contracts increase. Groups will be able to enter VBP contracts, individuals will not.
A major problem is that there is now no Oregon state regulation concerning the quality of mental and behavioral health VBP contracts. Contract regulation is essential to meet health system VBP contracting objectives of improved public access to care with improved patient-centered outcomes and quality.
Developing payment methods may include Value Based Payments (VPM), Risk-sharing, Pay for Performance (P4P) and Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT).
IMHPA has been a structure of support for independent practice since 1996. IMHPA is positioning itself to support ethical, independent solo and group mental health practices as we approach the new arena of value-based contracting.
