For Providers

Behavioral Health IPA

We Know Coordinated, Person-Centered Care

Home health care services in the Hudson Valley

The HVCC Behavioral Health Independent Practice Association (IPA), formerly Coordinated Behavioral Health Services, is a regional hub advancing value-based, person-centered care. The IPA is a collaborative network of (27) leading nonprofit providers in the mid-Hudson Region, united by a mission to create health and wellness for all by delivering recovery-oriented, outcome-driven care for Medicaid, Medicare, and uninsured populations. As New York’s healthcare system evolves, the IPA is driving innovation to ensure equitable access, care integration, and long-term sustainability in behavioral health and long-term care.

We’re inviting forward-thinking providers, health homes, and managed care organizations to join us in advancing person-centered, community-based care that supports total health and well-being.

Together, we can:

  • Improve continuity and coordination across behavioral, medical, and long-term care
  • Reduce institutional treatment through robust community alternatives
  • Develop value-based services that are high-quality, data-informed, and cost-effective
  • Lead with evidence-based practices and EHR interoperability
  • Build sustainable managed care models that deliver measurable outcomes

Join us in transforming the health landscape delivering care that promotes wellness, supports recovery, and improves lives.

What the IPA Delivers to Partners​

We supply the infrastructure, strategic guidance, and data tools needed to succeed in a performance-driven system.

Collective Contracting Power: Individual providers often lack the scale to negotiate directly with MCOs. Our IPA negotiates on partners’ behalf for reimbursement rates and participation in value-based payment models.

Administrative Support: Centralized services, including billing, quality reporting, and compliance oversight to support its members.

Coordination of Care: Help facilitate integration with medical and social care providers, especially in systems like New York’s Health Equity Reform (NYHER) waiver or the Social Care Network (SCN).

Clinical Integration: We help providers implement quality improvement strategies and evidence-based care, including:

  • Trauma-informed practices
  • Transitions of care
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder

Grant Coordination
From securing funds to managing performance, we support full lifecycle grant implementation. Key initiatives include:

  • Critical Time Intervention (CTI)
  • Home Community Based Service (HCBS) Infrastructure
  • Community Oriented Recovery & Empowerment (CORE) Infrastructure State Opioid Response (SOR) Coordination
  • Opioid Settlement Funds (OSF) Transportation
  • SAMHSA COVID
