Helping ACOs and CINs Improve Quality Scores, Reduce Total Cost of Care, and Close Behavioral Health Gaps

PsychPlus partners with Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Clinically Integrated Networks (CINs) to improve quality performance, reduce avoidable utilization, and strengthen population health outcomes through integrated psychiatry, therapy, substance use treatment, and value-based behavioral health programs.

Whether you’re managing shared savings, sub-capitated arrangements, or full-risk populations, PsychPlus embeds behavioral health services directly into your care delivery model—helping close care gaps, improve member outcomes, and reduce total cost of care.

Unmet Behavioral Health Needs Are Holding Back Quality Performance and Population Health Outcomes

Behavioral health conditions significantly influence utilization, patient outcomes, and total cost of care, yet many ACOs and CINs continue to face challenges with timely access, care coordination, referral management, and patient engagement. These gaps can lead to avoidable emergency department utilization, fragmented care experiences, and difficulty achieving quality and value-based performance goals.

PsychPlus helps ACOs and CINs integrate behavioral health into existing care models, improving care coordination, strengthening quality performance, and supporting better clinical and financial outcomes.

Behavioral Health Programs Designed for Population Health Success

Better Clinical Outcomes

  • Same- and next-day access to psychiatry, therapy, and substance use treatment helps patients receive the right care sooner, leading to earlier intervention and better behavioral health outcomes.
  • Psychiatrist-led care and integrated behavioral health management help ensure accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and better clinical outcomes.

Results: Better behavioral health outcomes, improved patient recovery, stronger clinical performance.

Reduced Avoidable Utilization & Total Cost of Care

  • High-risk patient identification helps care teams intervene earlier, reducing unnecessary emergency department visits and hospital admissions.
  • Behavioral health care management for high-risk patients helps stabilize individuals earlier, reducing unnecessary emergency department visits, hospital admissions, and readmissions.

Results: Lower total cost of care, reduced avoidable utilization, fewer emergency department visits.

Stronger Care Coordination & Network Retention

  • Closed-loop referrals help reduce gaps in care and keep patients connected to the services they need.
  • Integrated behavioral health teams work alongside primary care, specialty care, and case management to improve communication and care coordination.
  • Coordinated care models help keep patients engaged within your network while reducing referral leakage.

Results: Better care coordination, reduced referral leakage, higher patient retention.

Increased Visibility into Population Health

  • Real-time dashboards give your team greater visibility into utilization, patient engagement, and behavioral health performance.
  • Population health reporting helps identify trends, measure outcomes, and track key metrics including referral conversion, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 improvement, emergency department utilization, readmissions, PMPM, and total cost of care.

Results: Greater visibility into population health, data-driven decision-making, measurable performance.
