Express Access offers payers a scalable pathway to lower costs while dramatically improving behavioral health access and quality.  Express Access, developed with over $30M in NIH and PCORI funding and validated in a JAMA published randomized trial, is the first national referral infrastructure that helps referral sources and patients schedule appointments with behavioral health providers based on TOP-Matched, independently measured outcomes.

By embedding this evidence-based process, health plans can reduce unnecessary admissions, accelerate time to treatment, and achieve measurable improvements in recovery and total cost of care. Express Access generates actionable data for value-based contracting, network adequacy, and quality reporting.  While relatively simple to integrate into existing systems, implementing Express Access will help to improve both HEDIS performance and Star Ratings.
