Introducing Network Solutions: A New Approach to Enhancing Quality and Value in Substance Use Disorder and Behavioral Health Networks

At Wayspring, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the treatment and management of substance use disorder (SUD), driving lasting recovery. We’ve spent years working directly with individuals and families affected by SUD, gaining deep insights into the challenges and opportunities within the healthcare system. Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of Network Solutions, a comprehensive service designed to help health plans deliver greater value and improved outcomes for their members through their SUD and behavioral health (BH) networks.   

Addressing Challenges with Meaningful Solutions 

Behavioral health cost trends are rising rapidly with SUD as the primary driver of that growth. Factors such as evolving regulatory requirements, variations in clinical practices, and the need for integrated systems make it more important than ever to have clear, actionable insights. 

“Health plans and providers have historically operated largely in the dark with respect to comprehensive behavioral health outcomes data,” said Carter Paine, CEO at Wayspring. “That’s why we created Network Solutions—to provide the critical insights needed to improve network performance while also empowering providers to navigate the shift to value-driven care and improve outcomes for their patients. By collaborating, we can enhance care delivery and ultimately improve the lives of individuals and families affected by SUD.” 

Network Solutions provides data-driven tools, provider performance scorecards, and strategic support to help health plans and providers align on delivering high-quality, value-based care. Our approach is centered on collaboration, ensuring that everyone involved in the care journey has the resources and knowledge they need to succeed. 

Measurable Impact, Real Results 

Adopters of Network Solutions have already reported meaningful improvements, including: 

• 30% reduction in SUD inpatient readmissions   
• 15% reduction in lab spend that was not medically necessary  
• 16% increase in patients initiating MAT treatment after an inpatient stay  
• 20% increase in 7-day access to outpatient care after an inpatient stay  

By equipping providers with meaningful insights and supporting health plans in implementing value-based strategies, Network Solutions is setting a new standard for what’s possible in SUD and BH care.
