Wayspring, a leader in advancing the treatment of substance use disorder announced the launch of Network Solutions, a comprehensive service designed to help health plans deliver more value for their members through their SUD and behavioral health (BH) networks. In an era of rapid change and increasing complexity in SUD and BH care, Network Solutions delivers tools, insights, and actionable strategies health plans need to drive meaningful improvements in quality, outcomes, and value.
“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.”

Behavioral health cost trends are rising at an unprecedented rate, and SUD is the highest driver of that growth. Factors such as evolving regulatory requirements, variations in clinical practices, and the need for integrated systems contribute to the challenges of delivering high-quality, coordinated care.
“Health plans and providers have historically operated largely in the dark with respect to comprehensive behavioral health outcomes data. With years of experience in managing and caring for SUD populations, we deeply understand the complexities of recovery,” 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.”

Through cutting-edge tools like evidence-based scorecards, outlier analytics, and ongoing network evaluations, Network Solutions helps health plans assess provider performance, address variations in care quality, and implement alternative payment models. These capabilities not only improve clinical outcomes but also drive cost savings, positioning health plans and providers to thrive in a value-driven marketplace. For providers, Wayspring’s Network Solutions shares data on their current performance on quality and cost factors to help identify barriers to care, help serve their patients effectively and optimize their relationship with payers.
“Network Solutions isn’t just about identifying opportunities—it’s about delivering real change,” said Troy Mashburn, Head of Network Solutions at Wayspring. “We work side-by-side with health plans and providers to ensure that the insights we provide are actionable and lead to sustainable, measurable improvements in care delivery.”
Adopters of Network Solutions have reported significant 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
“These findings highlight the potential for Network Solutions to drive both quality and value,” said Frazer Buntin, Chief Operating Officer at Wayspring. “Whether members are seen by our providers or other high-quality providers in their network, Network Solutions helps ensure patients receive the care needed for lasting recovery.”
