Partnership Opportunities
Value Network IPA, LLC brings together behavioral health providers and community-based organizations across Western New York to collaborate, share expertise, strengthen care, and pursue opportunities that are more powerful together than they would be individually.
Our partnerships are intentionally built around organizations that can contribute meaningful expertise, services, and value to the Network.
Partnership Types
Value Network has two membership levels — and a broader circle of collaborators around them.
For behavioral health organizations licensed under Article 31 or Article 32, and for peer-service providers — organizations that bill insurers for mental health or substance use services.
Network Partners receive access to value-based payment contracts, participate in workgroups and data sharing, and receive the full set of Network benefits.
For hospitals and healthcare systems, primary care IPAs, health home providers, and community-based organizations that support behavioral health without billing for those services directly.
Affiliate Partners join the coordinated Network, participate in Network-wide collaboration, and access trainings, workgroups, and shared resources.
We also recognize IBH Partners — organizations participating with us in the Innovations in Behavioral Health Demonstration Project — and Community Collaborators: community groups, contractors, funders, and primary care IPAs working alongside the Network.

Value Network Partners gain access to resources, expertise, and collaborative opportunities designed to strengthen both their organizations and the broader behavioral healthcare system.
