Behavioral health integration is widely recognized as essential to whole-person care. Yet while the clinical case is clear, the business case remains fragile. Fee-for-service reimbursement models undervalue behavioral health services and fail to support team-based care, leaving many integrated primary care practices struggling to sustain models that have been proven to improve outcomes.

Leaders from across care delivery, policy and quality measurement take the main stage to examine the real-world challenges of integrating behavioral health into primary care, with a sharp focus on reimbursement barriers that limit adoption and scale. The discussion will also spotlight a path forward: aligning quality measurement with clinical reality to better reflect team-based, whole-person care. Panelists will explore how thoughtful measurement can help unlock reimbursement, strengthen accountability and bridge the gap between aspiration and sustainability, enabling integrated primary care teams to thrive in value-based care environments.
