Our Payor Relations Advocacy and Access Coalition (PRACC) undertakes the task of representing behavioral health at the payer level and providing behavioral health and addiction centers with the tools and background to understand and survive in this dynamic market. We proactively and responsively facilitate appropriate private-payer advocacy for behavioral health care. We establish talking points and represent NBHAP in an exchange of information with those involved in making decisions about public and private payer activities affecting addiction and brain health-related health care at the state and federal level levels.

The Payor Relations Advocacy and Access Coalition (PRACC) is one of our newest committees. We seeks to develop a database for our region on payer activities and create a "tool kit" for our members to use when dealing with payers. The lifeblood of our business is dictated by these payers; creating a better understanding of behavioral health and addiction care for them and helping members disseminate that message is key to growing our centers.
