Five Most Compelling Benefits of Membership

  • Behavioral Health Data Analytics Collaborative (BHDAC)
    IPBH's partnership with the University at Buffalo enables members to access a first-of-its-kind data warehouse that delivers CQI reports, supports predictive analytics, and allows members to participate in ethical, real-world research—all designed to improve outcomes, personalize care, and reduce costs.
  • Grant-Backed Peer Support and Billable Services
    IPBH has secured over $650,000 in grants to expand peer services, with several programs now Medicaid-billable. Peer advocates help ensure smoother transitions post-hospitalization and strengthen community-based care continuity.
  • Training, Tools, and Technical Assistance
    Members receive access to no-cost CEUs through NetCE, MAT and peer workforce training, financial modeling with Freed Maxick, and structured peer learning through “Integrity Conversations,” all of which reduce reliance on costly external consultants.
  • Policy Influence and System Leadership
    Recognized by OMH and OASAS as a statewide model, IPBH empowers rural providers to shape rather than react to policy. BHDAC findings inform state legislation and funding, giving members a critical role in influencing behavioral health reform.
  • Exceptional Return on Investment
    With dues ranging from just $5,000-$7,500 for CBOs to $10,000 for LGUs annually, members receive access to robust data infrastructure, grant opportunities, VBP preparation, and technical tools—making IPBH membership not an expense, but a strategic investment in clinical, data analytics, financial, and operational success.
