The Leadership Summit on Innovation in the Cost-Appropriateness of Behavioral Health & Wellness explores the costs of behavioral health to the Nation and the workplace. Stakeholders will discuss economic incentives and present successful cost-effective initiatives to provide quality, cost-appropriate behavioral health and wellness services. Featuring employer and government driven cost-reduction demands with health plan and provider collaboration the Summit showcases innovative behavioral health, pharma and wellness interventions and how to combine the best of both. Four keynotes, case studies, pre-conference seminars, interactive luncheon roundtables and a networking reception provide forums for attendees to examine and compare models, results and best practices to adopt healthy behaviors and reduce health care costs.
