Reduce avoidable utilization. Improve quality performance.

Integrated behavioral health designed for value-based health plan. We drive measurable improvements in utilization, quality outcomes, and total cost of care through evidence-based care and transparent measurement.

We partner with

Health plans accountable for outcomes and cost

Confidant Health partners with Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid MCOs, and other risk-bearing health plans managing complex populations. Our approach is best suited for organizations focused on measurable utilization improvement, quality performance, and transparent, outcomes-driven partnerships.

Challenge

Fragmented behavioral health increases medical utilization

Behavioral health conditions such as depression and anxiety materially influence emergency department use, inpatient admissions, and chronic disease complications. Health plans often see wide variation in utilization and quality across similar populations. This is frequently driven by gaps in behavioral health integration rather than access alone.

Our solution

Measurement-based care designed to reduce avoidable utilization

Confidant partners with health plans to embed evidence-based, measurement-driven behavioral health into medical care workflows. We track clinical outcomes, engagement, and utilization signals that matter to value-based performance. We align our work to transparent reporting and shared accountability.

Clinical

Evidence-based frameworks embedded into medical care

Confidant applies proven, evidence-based frameworks to integrate behavioral health directly into medical care delivery. Our clinical models are designed to support measurable outcomes, utilization management, and quality performance.

Measurement-based care

Validated clinical assessments and symptom tracking inform treatment decisions, enable stepped care, and create an auditable record of clinical progress over time.

Disease-integrated models

TEAMCare and COMPASS style frameworks integrate behavioral health into chronic disease management, supporting adherence, engagement, and improved medical outcomes.

Perinatal collaborative care

Integrated screening and treatment for depression and anxiety during pregnancy and the postpartum period, aligned to obstetric care workflows and maternal health priorities.

Primary care integration

Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) principles align behavioral health clinicians with primary care teams, workflows, and billing structures to support integrated, accountable care.

01
Identify

Systematic identification of behavioral health needs

Validated screening tools are embedded into primary care workflows to consistently identify depression and anxiety across the patient panel. This creates a reliable intake signal for intervention without adding burden or guesswork.

02
Collaborate

Behavioral health integrated into the care plan

Embedded behavioral health clinicians collaborate with primary care teams as part of a shared care plan. Mental health treatment and chronic disease management are coordinated in parallel, rather than managed through fragmented referrals.

03
Measure

Measurement-driven accountability and adjustment

A centralized registry tracks clinical progress, engagement, and treatment response over time. Teams use this data to adjust care, monitor outcomes, and maintain accountability across providers and sites.

Our approach

A transparent data path from summary to claims analysis

Engagements begin with summary and aggregate data to identify high-impact populations and opportunity areas. As partnerships mature, analysis can progress to claims-based review to support ongoing measurement, reconciliation, and performance evaluation. We maintain transparency and governance at every stage.

01
Outcomes tracked

Emergency visits and inpatient utilization trends

We track utilization patterns that materially influence medical cost, including emergency department visits and inpatient admissions. These metrics are monitored alongside clinical outcomes, quality measures, and engagement indicators, and are reported transparently over time.

02
Quality performance

Integrated behavioral health supports STAR and HEDIS performance

Behavioral health integration helps address barriers to screening, adherence, and chronic disease management that affect quality performance. Health plans track changes in relevant STAR and HEDIS measures through structured reporting and claims-based review.

03
Engagement rates

Sustained engagement in evidence-based care

Measurement-based care and integrated workflows support consistent participation in treatment over time. Health plans track engagement, follow-up, and continuity indicators as part of a broader view of clinical progress and program performance.

04
Cost reconciliation

Claims-based analysis supports cost and utilization evaluation

Clinical outcomes and engagement data are reviewed alongside claims data on a defined cadence. This claims-based approach enables finance and actuarial teams to evaluate utilization trends, cost drivers, & the potential impact of behavioral health integration with transparency and rigor.

Partnership

Commercial models aligned to risk and performance

Confidant structures partnerships to align accountability with outcomes. Whether supporting capitated populations or value-based arrangements, our commercial models are designed to reflect utilization performance, quality measures, and claims-based evaluations. We align incentives across clinical and financial stakeholders.

Enterprise-grade security and compliance

Confidant operates HIPAA compliant infrastructure designed for healthcare organizations. Our security controls and compliance posture are continuously monitored in real time through Drata, helping ensure ongoing adherence to required safeguards for sensitive patient data.
