Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) is partnering with New York City startup Quartet to roll out a value-based payment model for mental health care. Quartet and Blue Cross NC are combining their assets to measure the quality of care patients receive, and create incentives to providers for improved patient access to in-network care, collaboration among providers, and improved patient health outcomes, the two organizations said. Blue Cross NC’s value-based payment model, called Blue Premier Behavioral Health, will reward mental health providers with incentive payments for achieving improvements and meeting benchmarks in quality measures. Eligible providers will use Quartet’s technology to support improved patient care, as well as enable data collection and measurement of quality outcomes.
