Value Network and Highmark BCBS of WNY: An Innovative VBP Partnership
Speaker: Andrea J. Wanat, Chief Executive Officer, Value Network
This is a historical recording shared by Value Network in December 2023. Partner counts and other statements reflect the time of the recording.
Value Network is a behavioral healthcare collaborative covering the eight counties in Western New York. And what we do is we work with over 62 partners. And what the Value Network team provides to these partners are data visualizations, clinical best practices, grant opportunities and contracting opportunities, really enhanced services to those partners so that they can ultimately provide the best care possible for the patients they serve throughout Western New York.
We came to Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and we brainstorm some ways that we could partner. We came up with a very innovative value-based contracting opportunity that was the first of its kind in New York State. Ultimately the collaboration between Highmark and Value Network, it will expand and be transformative across the system, really setting the standards for the future of healthcare savings and healthcare best practices.
