ValueOptions' Centers of Excellence Program
ValueOptions believes in providing optimal service to its members and recognizing providers for the services they render. Through the Centers of Excellence (COE) Program, ValueOptions analyzes internal and external information to identify facilities/provider organizations whose reputation and demonstrated performance make them centers of excellence for uncommon or complex behavioral health conditions. Such conditions include:
- Chemical Dependency
- Complex Adolescent Cases
- "Culturally Appropriate" Treatment Centers
- Developmentally Disabled/Psychiatric Disorders Unit
- Eating Disorders
- Gambling Addiction
- Inpatient Programs Using Buprenorphine for Rapid Detox
- Integrated Care: Co-Morbid Severe Medical and Psychiatric Disorders
- Mood Disorders
- Self Mutilation
- Sexual Disorders
- Dual Diagnosis (Mental Health and Chemical Dependency)
Facilities/provider organizations that are identified as a COE are notified by mail and given the opportunity to participate in the program. Designation as a ValueOptions center of excellence may benefit facilities in terms of community reputation. Such centers may also receive additional autonomy with regard to treatment planning and authorizations. For COE patients, ValueOptions would focus care management attention on quality improvement, outcomes, coordination, follow-up, etc.
Centers of Excellence would share in the quality and outcomes information we compile and thus enhance their own internal planning and improvement processes. Such centers may receive additional referrals and, over time, may become anchors of networks tiered to preferentially reward quality of care.
