Behavioral Health Network Access for Health Plans

Organized behavioral health providers. Clear specialty and geographic visibility. Practical plan partnership.

MyQualityCareNetwork organizes behavioral health providers into a structured network that Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plans can evaluate for plan access discussions, helping plans strengthen behavioral health access where it is often hardest to build.

01 · The challenge

Why behavioral health access is hard to build

Behavioral health specialties are frequently among the hardest for health plans to staff across every county they serve. Provider supply is thin in rural areas, many clinicians practice independently, and appointment availability changes quickly. Plans need an organized, verifiable picture of who is available, where, and for which services.

02 · Specialties

Behavioral health provider types we organize

Psychiatry

Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners for medication management and evaluation.

Psychology

Licensed psychologists providing assessment and therapy services.

Licensed therapists

LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, and other licensed clinicians for outpatient counseling.

Substance use treatment

Addiction medicine and substance use disorder providers across levels of care.

Telehealth providers

Tele-behavioral providers that may support access where in-person supply is limited, subject to applicable plan and regulatory rules.

Geographic coverage

Providers organized by state, county, and ZIP code so plans can see where access exists.

03 · Approach

How we build behavioral health network access

Step 1

Recruit

Identify and engage behavioral health providers in target markets.

Step 2

Organize

Collect provider information and organize it by specialty, location, and service type.

Step 3

Validate

Review submitted information and support credentialing preparation.

Step 4

Partner

Present organized network information to plans for access discussions.

04 · For plans

What health plans receive

Aggregate network views

Provider counts by specialty, state, county, and ZIP code, without exposing private provider details publicly.

Adequacy context

Optional pairing with our network adequacy analysis to estimate where behavioral health providers may help close access gaps.

Plan access discussions

A structured starting point for contracting conversations between your plan and organized providers.

Network information reflects providers who have expressed interest and is subject to change. Participation in our network does not guarantee plan contracting, credentialing, referrals, or payment.

05 · Markets

Medicare Advantage and Medicaid

Medicare Advantage plans are measured against CMS contract-year standards, while Medicaid managed care plans follow state-specific requirements. We tailor behavioral health network development to the rules your plan is held to.
