The nuanced world of behavioral health creates a challenging environment for precision in payment integrity. Keeping up with varying diagnoses, policy changes, care delivery and treatment types can be a complex, manual process - leading to lengthy processes and missed detail. Learn from Shift and Constellation Quality Health experts on emerging behavioral health trends, use cases, AI-powered tools, and the steps taken in facing a complex, real-world case involving opioid prescriptions, abuse, and recovery.

In this webinar, attendees will learn:

  • Emerging trends in behavioral health from substance abuse to recovery centers
  • A case walkthrough from Robyn Winters of Constellation Quality Health resulting in over $1M in prepay savings - involving a behavioral health provider who was both prescribing opioids and running a treatment center for addiction
