It can be as simple as a missed renewal notice\, delayed paperwork or a provider not realizing a deadline is approaching. With H.R. 1 increasing redetermination pressure\, those small gaps can have much bigger consequences. In this webinar from Eleos\, a National Council Gold Partner\, we’ll explore what this means for behavioral health organizations and how to identify coverage risks before clients lose benefits they’re still eligible to receive.

For behavioral health organizations\, an effective response often depends on decisions made long before a crisis occurs\, including how technology systems and EHRs are governed and maintained.

Each session will highlight practical strategies and real-world insights to support stronger\, more effective partnerships across systems. \n\n\n\nPart 3: Clear Roles and Data Sharing\n\n\n\nOverlapping 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. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nNina Marshall\, MSW\, Oak Street Outcomes\n\n\n\nAndrew Schwend\, Centerstone of America\n\n\n\nJames Brennan\, State of Rhode Island\n\n\n\nStacy Aguiar\, UnitedHealthcare\n\n\n\n\nAttendees will leave with actionable insights to strengthen collaboration and improve program planning and execution. \n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n Strengthening CCBHC & Managed Care Collaboration\, Part 1: Leadership\, Engagement and Education\n \n\n \n \n Learn More\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n Strengthening CCBHC & Managed Care Collaboration\, Part 2: CCBHCs and Financial Sustainability\n \n\n \n \n Learn More URL:https://www.thenationalcouncil.org/event/ccbhc-managed-care-part3-clear-roles-data-sharing/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261001T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261001T140000 DTSTAMP:20260902T214256Z CREATED:20260902T213436Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260902T214256Z UID:163915-1790859600-1790863200@www.thenationalcouncil.org SUMMARY:Beyond Outcomes: The ROI of Measurement-based Care DESCRIPTION:Measurement-based Care (MBC) is helping behavioral health organizations improve care while demonstrating the value and impact of their services. As funders and payors increasingly look for measurable results\, outcomes data can strengthen grant applications and RFPs\, support contract negotiations and make the case for greater investment. Join Greenspace Health\, a National Council Bronze Partner\, to explore the ROI of MBC and how organizations can use outcomes data to improve engagement\, reduce challenges like no-shows and early dropout\, and build a more sustainable model for care.

In this webinar from Triad\, a National Council Gold Partner\, you’ll explore the RESTORE Framework\, a practical model for rebuilding capacity at both the individual and organizational levels. It’s an approach that moves beyond “doing more” to creating the conditions that support healthy professionals\, ethical practice and high-quality care.
