With the increased demand for behavioral health services from the pandemic and legacy issues around access, Elevance Health sought to design a system to provide person-centered whole health care. Their approach started with engaging all stakeholders to assess the problems on the ground, designing products that match the needs of populations with complex health conditions, and ultimately connecting them to the right provider organizations. In this keynote presentation, hear how Elevance Health launched its Behavioral Health Advantage (BHA) program. Through BHA, Elevance Health sees significant reductions in suicide, alcohol, and opioid use. By leveraging prevention efforts, they are addressing access issues, providing mental health and substance use navigation support, creating comprehensive care plans, increasing the use of digital tools, and helping to eliminate stigma in the workplace.
