Partnerships in Care (PiC) Program

Our Partnerships in Care (PiC) program uses data analytics and clinical reviews to enhance our partnership with you as the provider to maximize treatment successes. This approach is based on our philosophy that quality member care is achieved through purposeful collaboration with providers that serve our members receiving a multitude of  behavioral health services.

If you are identified as a provider that could benefit from participation in the Partnerships in Care program through a data analysis, we will review members’ clinical documentation and then collaborate with you to highlight areas of strengths and opportunities.
