Behavioral Health Care
The Behavioral Health Boot Camp: Fall 2026 Series
No-cost continuing education unit (CEU) opportunity
All types of providers are invited to participate in our no-cost ECHO Behavioral Health Boot Camp training series focused on engaging patients and members needing extra support. Providers in rural communities including family practice clinicians, OB/GYNs, local health departments and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are encouraged to participate.
More details and registration information are coming soon!
Join us at our virtual forum to engage with plan leadership to discuss operational and administrative activities. The goal of our time together is to get to know each other, share tips and tricks to make your job easier and ultimately work together to improve behavioral health outcomes for our members.
Each lunchtime session will include important information related to credentialing, care management, HEDIS priorities, billing functions and more. We will also offer a Provider Spotlight to highlight best practices and encourage patient collaboration.
