BHT welcomes ADEPT Behavioral Health, Compassionate Addiction Treatment Center, and Volunteers of America to our Network!
Since 2014, BHT has been the Lead Organization of our region’s Navigator Network. Over 130 Navigators from more than 20 organizations make up the network, which spans seven counties in Eastern Washington. The Navigators assist all customers with health insurance needs like enrollment, renewals, program eligibility, and document submission.
As the lead org, BHT provides the Network’s Navigators with semi-annual training, technical assistance, and general insurance advice. BHT has led this network of Navigators through seven open enrollment periods. In 2019, our Network assisted over 21,000 customers with their insurance applications. BHT would like to congratulate our Network partners for their efforts.

Read MoreThe Health Care Authority (HCA), in partnership with Manatt, has released a Value-based Purchasing (VBP) Resource Catalog. The purpose of this resource is to connect partners to available VBP visioning documents, technical assistance, and other relevant information. The HCA says this is a starting point and foundational set of resources, especially for providers who have been less engaged in VBP discussions to-date. This is not meant to replace other VBP support mechanisms and resources but may inform future efforts.
