Connecting the Two Worlds: States Integrating Primary and Behavioral Health Care
As states pursue payment and delivery reform to yield a more integrated delivery system, stronger connections between primary care and behavioral health care are essential.

It will also examine strategies for blending disparate funding streams from different payers and exchanging data needed to support care coordination and working relationships among varied providers. The webinar will feature the experiences of Washington state, Minnesota, and an innovative community mental health center that is leveraging a Health Care Innovation award from the CMS Innovation Center to integrate care.
Speakers/Presenters:
- Jane Beyer, Assistant Secretary, Aging and Disability Services, Washington Behavioral Health and Service Integration Administration
