A national coalition of providers, clinicians, families and advocates
For facility owners, executive leadership, medical directors, clinicians, laboratories, pharmacies, billing companies, and service providers. Provider members receive research reports before public release, participate in data collection, and are listed in the alliance directory if they choose to be. This membership carries the most weight in BHDA’s research because it comes with access to claims-level documentation.
For individuals in recovery, family members, facility staff, union representatives, attorneys, and anyone personally affected by behavioral health coverage decisions. Advocate members receive research reports on publication, can submit documentation to the record, and are counted in every total BHDA reports.
Advocacy organizations are evaluated on who stands behind them. A research report from an alliance of two hundred members is read differently than the same report from an alliance of six thousand, and the difference has nothing to do with the quality of the research.
That is the entire mechanism. Members supply the count and the documentation. BHDA supplies the analysis, the publication, and the sustained presence that no individual facility has time to maintain.
