The demand for mental health and substance use services is growing, requiring more clinicians and alternative support roles like coaches and peers.

She emphasizes the need for collaboration to ensure members are directed to the right services, particularly for specialized conditions like eating disorders and OCD, while also highlighting the role of technology, health equity, and innovation in expanding access to mental health, substance use, and IDD care. Solome underscores the success of pioneering plans like NovaWell in reaching underserved populations, including young people and people of color, but notes the ongoing challenges with payment codes and reimbursement.
