Our Approach

Alera Health and our ONEcare Networks offer local support, actionable data and analytics, and value-based care expertise to help providers navigate the changing Medicaid landscape in Indiana.

The Opportunity in Indiana

Indiana’s behavioral health providers are improving population health – for both mental health and physical health needs – every single day for Hoosiers in all walks of life. They serve a high cost, high need population.

For Indiana Medicaid enrollees, 76% of individuals with a Serious Mental Illness (SMI) have at least one chronic health condition, and 31% have two or more

Alera’s actionable alerts and data identify patients and engage before a crisis. Whatever setting they seek care, the network bridges gaps and provides visibility to behavioral health providers.

This population drives medical costs 3.5x higher than the average enrollee

Behavioral Health providers help keep patients on their treatment plans. The network’s value-based contracts capture a portion of the savings generated.

Indiana’s mental health needs are only 40% met, with a workforce shortage in all 92 counties.

The Integrated System of Care includes hospitals and primary care providers, extending the reach of the network.

Value-Based Care for Behavioral Health

When behavioral health providers deliver exceptional care, the network’s value-based contracts help them claim a piece of the savings they generate.

Our networks negotiate unique value-based care contracts customized for behavioral health populations. Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs), and other behavioral health providers can continue to receive their base contracted rate. Value-based incentives can provide an additional revenue stream on top.

Supporting the Expansion of CCBHCs

Alera offers data and analytics tools and real-time care coordination links to help CCBHCs meet their highest potential.

Indiana Integrated System of Care FAQs

Can a CCBHC or CMHC participate in VBC programs?

Yes, in addition to the organization’s base rate, participation in a ONEcare Network opens the door to additional financial incentives based on improved health outcomes. Providers that are actively engaged and committed to improvement benefit directly from shared savings and other performance-based rewards.

What quality measures are a part of ONEcare Network value-based contracts?

ONEcare Networks generally align HEDIS metrics with the priority measures that CCBHCs are already held accountable for. This strategic alignment means minimal additional administrative burden for reporting while maximizing your ability to leverage existing workflows.
