Session Description
In a market flooded with hundreds of point solutions, inflated network claims and unvalidated care models, distinguishing real behavioral health impact from noise has never been harder. In this candid panel, NovaOne leaders join health plan leaders and founders of leading behavioral health organizations to challenge the status quo and define what “Behavioral Health, Not BS” looks like in practice. This session will move beyond buzzwords to provide a clear, practical framework for payers, employers and partners seeking solutions that actually deliver results.
