Strengthening CCBHC & Managed Care Collaboration, Part 3: Clear Roles and Data Sharing

Nearly a decade into the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) movement, states, providers and managed care organizations (MCOs) are still discovering how to combine their complementary strengths to improve access, quality and health outcomes across populations.

This three-part webinar series features expert panelists unpacking key lessons from the National Council’s new paper, CCBHC & Managed Care Collaboration: A Guidebook for State and Managed Care Leaders. Each session will highlight practical strategies and real-world insights to support stronger, more effective partnerships across systems.

Part 3: Clear Roles and Data Sharing

Overlapping responsibilities between states, health plans and CCBHCs — in areas such as care coordination, data reporting, program oversight, meeting quality targets, and managing health across populations — bring risks for confusion, duplication of efforts and misaligned resources. In this session, panelists will discuss practical strategies and operational levers that states and MCOs can use to create clarity and improve performance.
