The World Health Care Congress 4th Annual Leadership Summit on Behavioral Health convenes employers, health plans and providers to discuss the business case of integrating behavioral and primary health care. Over the course of two days, major industry stakeholders address the implications of the mental health parity bill on existing programs, the changes required to sustain these models and the financial incentives of linking behavioral health to health promotion to reduce costs and increase productivity.

Through keynotes, case studies, seminars, luncheon roundtables and networking functions attendees have the opportunity to hear from peers and experts discussing their behavioral modification programs, the reimbursement challenges they have encountered, the pros and cons of carve-ins vs. carve outs and how to identify and treat various behavioral health disorders. Discuss the clinical, financial and operational impact of the Mental Health Parity Law on employers, plans and providers.
